Antibiotics???

I have been ill for a couple of weeks now so today I finally gave in and went to see the doctor. He said I had tonsilitis and it should clear up on its own after two weeks (had for 2 already!). He said taking antibiotics during pregnancy is risky and he does not advise it. I am to wait a few more days to see if I don't start to feel better but if I don't or my symptoms worsen, which they have, I can then take the antibiotics.
Has anyone else had to take antibiotics. Has anyone heard they are not safe to take? Please helps as now I'm worried about taking them. Posted on 11/04/09, 08:11 am |

I have been on antibiotics twice during my pregnancy. Both my OBGYN and my high risk doc said the antibiotics are fine. I have had no problems from taking them. I think as long as they are the basic ones like amoxicillan and stuff like that, it's fine. Good luck. Feel better soon.

I was on antibiotics during the first trimester for a UTI. My high risk OB that was covering ordered them and said they were safe.

Cheers guys yes they are amoxicillin that have been prescribed. Shall I wait a few days like dr suggested or get them now. I am feeling pretty rough and my face and ears are killing me. I think that justifies worsening symptoms. What do you think?

Go ahead and get them. You will get better so much faster with the meds.

If it's "cilliin" you should be ok! I have had the flu for three weeks now and they won't let me take anything. I am allergic to the "cillins" so that is out of the question. Hope you feel better soon cuz being sick and getting no relief sucks monkey butt.

I think as everyone has said that it depends on the type of antibiotics. I was on them with my last pregnancy but they did wait until I absolutely needed them. I ended up with Pnemonia. Amoxicillian should be fine though.

I had Amoxicillin and was fine - but had a killer yeast infection! And you can't take diflucan while you are pregnant. I recommend the longest dose, not the quick cream.
