Avatar f tn I am exclusively breastfeeding my 9 month old son and I just found out I am pregnant again. Should I start weaning him or is it safe to continue nursing him? I am getting mixed answers and I'm confused. Will the baby I'm pregnant with get cheated of nutrients if my son is still breastfeeding?
Avatar f tn So I went to the dentist The other day and they said I need to get my wisdom teeth pulled. Is it safe to get them pulled.
Avatar n tn They do not have viable immune systems yet and any antibiotic could result in abortion, still births, or deformities. The purpose of any antibiotics is to kill bacteria but it is non discriminatory. That is it kills both the bacteria cause the queen's URI as well as beneficial bacteria needed for the kittens to grown and develop. Just as with pregnant humans, it is always a judgement call as to whether the benefits warrants the risk.
287246 tn?1318570063 I never thought I would be nursing this long!!! But it is getting to be less frequent as she takes in more while milk and eats more. As for the night time feedings....she uses me as a pacifier!! But I am so trying to break her from this. It is getting better slowly. Remember my post a while back on the breastfeeding forum?? Yep, that was me!!! Thanks for your response. I was afraid to take it without knowing...especially this early.
Avatar n tn Is it safe to take the antibiotics Macrobid and Flagyl together? I'm 20 weeks and have both a UTI and bacterial infection. I know that my doctor wouldn't prescribe anything that would hurt the baby but there's still that lingering doubt in the back of my head that worries it isn't safe. Has anyone ever been pregnant and on both at the same time?
Avatar f tn re pregnant, then it should be safe. I dont remember what i was perscribed but i only had to take it for 4 days. And anything in the penicillan family is safe for pregnancy.
Avatar f tn Okay so im scheduled to get my tooth pulled in 2 weeks, my dentist prescribed me 2 weeks worth of antibiotics to take because the medicine that they usually use to numb a patient getting a tooth pulled is not good for the baby so they supplement that for antibiotics, I just wanted to know if any other mom evr took antibiotics while preg?? I guess because I'm a FTM I'm really nervous but I just don't want nothing to hurt my baby like I just need clarify...
1084115 tn?1385228589 Hi Rexx, well gosh, penicillin is the safest. I looked it up a long time ago when I had to take antibiotics. Saying that my doctor just gave me the Zpack with is arithromycin (sp) I will go look to see what the best one is after penicillin.
Avatar n tn I am scheduled to complete the course of Levaquin on Tuesday, February 5. Is it safe to try to get pregnant on Friday, February 8. I have not started any prenatal vitamins, is it foolish to start prenatal vitamins along with the Levaquin or should I have been taking these a few months beforehand?
467493 tn?1229895239 Since bacteria are able to build resistance to antibiotics, however, erythromycin and clindamycin, though safe, may not be very effective. Despite general belief that oral contraceptive pills for acne will harm the baby if continued, there is no evidence showing women to be at a higher risk for defects. Acne medications to avoid during pregnancy include topical and oral retinoids, various antibiotics, and other prescription medicines.
Avatar m tn The statement "it is absolutely safe to take yogurt with antibiotics" is false and misleading, with caveats. Certain antibiotics (amoxicillin) may be taken with yogurt. Taking yogurt simultaneously with many other antibiotics will result in a sub-therapeutic level of drug in the bloodstream, causing spread of the infection, with the possibility of death.
Avatar f tn It is on the safe list from my obgyn. I also researched it. Its fine in pregnancy. I'm just worried about a severe reaction that will cause bigger problems for me and my baby - throat swelling, etc.things that are highly unlikely. That's why my husband is irritated.
Avatar n tn So I had to take antibiotics twice during my pregnancy. One time it was the pack you take for like 4 days I believe and its because I had a virus/flu going on then the second time which was like 3-4weeks later I had amoxicillin because again I had came down with a cold but with an ear infection. I was suppose to stay on the amoxocillin for I think was like 10+ days but everytime I would take it I felt my baby move alot and just felt nasty so I ended up taking it for only 2-3 days.
