Is it harmful to the baby if im taking antibiotics for bronchitis? And I am only about 1 month .

I am almost on my last week of pregnancy and I may have a yeast infection, would taking monistat 7 now be unsafe since I'm so close to delivery? Or can my doctor prescribe me with some kind of medication?

Yes, I had to take antibiotics for a urinary tract infection while on TX.

m scheduled to return home. I masturbated and had protected sex while taking the antibiotics. Is that significant? Thank you for your time and help.

Hi, I saw my Endo today. I am getting more blood work done. My last labs were in July. My TSH - .005 and T4 - 2.72 they are going to test for antibodies. The last antibody test I had was in 2007 and was told the range was 0-40 and mine was at 116 so the doc wants to see where its at now. I'm going to have the radioactive iodine uptake test done when the baby turns 1 yr. and I stop nursing.

That happens when you have been taking antibiotics because antibiotics kill most of the bacteria in your body (including the good ones) and then fungus or yeast grows on mucus membranes. So that's why many women get vaginal yeast infections after they take antibiotics. I guess that lactating nipples could be considered a mucus membrane? I don't know but it does secrete bodily fluids so it could be possible.

I has been taking antibiotics for 2.5 years when I got pregnant and took antibiotics while pregnant just half the dose. What is the possibility I passed Lyme to my 3 month old? Can I get him tested for Lyme and if so can I ask his pediatrician? Please help I am very worried.

Are you nursing the babies? I had an infection while nursing my youngest and as I remember (he is now 13 years old), you need to make sure to keep the milk flowing....pump that breast every few hours and nurse off the other side until it feels less sore. The antibiotics should take care of it I would imaging. If you can call a nurse hotline, or speak to a nurse at the hospital it would probably be a good idea! Congrats on your twins!

I am taking antibiotics (CILICAINE VK phenoxymethyl penicillin) because I have tonsillitis. I started yesterday and I already feel 95% better. I have a New Years Eve party in 5 days and I was wondering whether I could consume alcohol on the night?

Oh, and one last thing- you said you were a nursing mom - you may want to hold off on nursing your baby until you are feeling better and supplement with formula instead. If you do have an infection, I'm not sure abou tthe possibility of the bacteria (cause of the infection) passing onto your baby through the breast milk.

I am 10 weeks pregnant and I take 2 different pills for nausea every day. Dr. Told me they are safe to use and will not affect the baby but I just don't like the idea of taking pills while pregnant. The problem is I can't eat without having my pills first and easily get dehydrated. I just want to feel that my baby is going to be safe!

Hi I'm 5 weeks and my toddler still nurses pretty often. I planned on letting her self wean. I was seeing how anyone else's toddlers weaned while you were pregnant or if youe supply dried up?

I know you have to take special BC without a certain hormone cause your body is producing it while you nurse but is the pill the only option when your nursing? or are there other methods for while nursing?

Can taking suboxone while nursing cause your milk to decrease??

Has anyone ever been prescribed the antibiotic Clindamiacin while pregnant. I went to the emergency dentist yesterday morning BC I was up allll night before with a horrible toothache. Well I guess I have a slight infection in my wisdom tooth and it needs to be extracted asap but he wanted me to take the med first for a few days. Its on my sheet of same meds from my doctor and both dentist and pharmacist said it was fine but I'm so Leary! I guess infection is more harmful.

I was just curious if anyone is or has tried to concieve while nursing. My DS is almost 6 months old and I have had AF twice since birth, but it is irregular (which is normal for me b/c AF was irregular prior to concieving baby number 1). I was just wondering if there are any tips besides the normal stuff for TTC - like any special considerations, is it harder/easier, etc. thanks!

Hi there! I am pretty sure that I'm pregnant, but it hasn't been confirmed by a doctor yet. I'm nursing my 6 month old and I'm not ready to stop that yet. Has anyone nursed a baby while pregnant?

My mom worked at a nursing home while pregnant with my brother and she had to quit so she wouldnt miscarry it is very hard wrk she had to lift people and all. If u are going to be a nurse then it may be ok but if not u may want to be truthful cause if your not and u can't do the work u will have to tell them and if it is in trial period u could be fired for not being honest to begin with about being able to do it.
