It's like most drugs, not proven safe as not tested in pregnancy, but no data to suggest harmful. BV on the other hand...

I sympathise, I have just been taking unproven medication for shingles and it made me nervous.

My sister said something which made me feel better, which was that she took antibiotics with her second baby and everything was absolutely fine.

And as DrFluffy says, and as my doctor said to me about the shingles, the illness itself is the much greater risk to the little one.

Get well soon!

Totally agree!

Specifically, for this pregnancy, my regular medal are:

Aspirin 75mg once a day - since 12/40

Cephradine (antibiotic) 250mg once a day - since 28/40

Ferrous Fumerate 210mg twice a day - since 34/40

Beginning to feel like I rattle! None have a specifically proven safety profile in pregnancy, but no evidence of specific association with adverse events. Each is doing a massively important job though, protecting Flump against me ;-p

Looking forward to being medication free again though!!
