Hi, im currently 33weeks,6days via LMP, is it fine that during my ultrasound my baby head circumference is 2 weeks late by the size? Im worried.
@@jellycaalvaran2285 Thanks for asking. Unfortunately, ultrasound is not an exact science. Every day is gets better and better but there is still a chance that the measurements are off. That being said, your due date could also be off. Babies heads can be larger than the rest of the baby's body. Humans are not symmetrical so that is quite normal. I would ask your doctor when you can start to use natural methods to help soften your cervix in preparation for birth. There is some evidence that babies with larger heads pose challenges to a vaginal delivery. However, a cervix that is soft and ripe for delivery may help mediate that issue. You CANNOT start using homeopathic remedies until at least 37 weeks and then only under the care of your provider. There is a lot of neurological development that takes place between 37 and 39 weeks so its important for your provider to help guide and recommend what to use and the frequency of use. Some methods include: red raspberry leaf tea, evening primrose oil, bouncing on an exercise ball, prenatal breast pumping, walking, and sex. Again, do not do this without your provider's ok first. However, once they give the approval this may help.
Thank u so much for ur response. Appreciate it much. My doctor said nothing to worry. But im just confuse, because my LMP does not match
These were my latest results, HC-28.19cm, AC 27.36cm, FL 6.17cm, BPD 8.21cm GA via lmp, 32w4d, GA via AUA 31w6d
@@jellycaalvaran2285 I am not an expert on reading ultrasounds and you should always refer to your provider for medical advice. Your measurements look good. Babies heads are supposed to be bigger than their bodies. Those measurements are both consistent for that gestational age at approximately the 75-80 percentile.
Thank you! This made me feel a lot better about taking antibiotics during pregnancy!

Hello! Thank you so much for this info! I did have a question about the use of Clarithromycin 500mg 2x/day for 5 days. My wife took it at 26 weeks and was wondering what your thoughts were. Thanks again!!!
Thanks for asking. There is limited safety data on Clarithromycin so it is recommended to use a different antibiotic first. However, most organ development has occurred by 26 weeks and therefore the risk of birth defects decreases significantly when taking a medication during this time. Good luck.
Hi there,
My wife was just prescribed cefixime tablets. 1 per day for 5 days. She is 14 weeks pregnant. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Colin
Thanks for asking! Cefixime is safe for use during pregnancy when the benefits outweigh the risks. It's important to treat infections because they can cause preterm labor and miscarriage. Be sure to take all the medication as prescribed by your healthcare provider or the infection can come back worse. Feel better!

Hi. Doc is cefalexin fleridine capsule safe for pregnant? I am 9 weeks pregnant and I have a toothache. Thank you!
Thanks for asking! Cephalexin is safe for use during the first trimester of pregnancy when the benefits outweigh the risks. If your toothache is caused by infection then this is a good medication to take. Be sure to take all the medication as prescribed or the infection can come back worse. Good luck!
Hi Doctor, I have been prescribed to use cefotaxime injection for three days 2 dose each. I am in my last month and I am little bit scared. Is it safe to use ?

Hello! I’m 27 weeks pregnant and prescribed simbra 400 / norfloxacin 2 times a day and I’m worried it’ll hurt the baby
Thanks for asking! I am unfamiliar with Simbra and Norfloxacin because it is not used in my area. You can check with your local pharmacist on the safety of this medication as well as your healthcare provider. Feel better!
Hello I hope you can answer me, I’m having a really bad sore throat is it safe to take amoxicillin? I’m almost 5 weeks pregnant. Thank you.
Thanks for asking! Amoxicillin is safe for use during early pregnancy. However, you want to make sure you have a bacterial infection like strep throat before taking it. Amoxicillin will not treat a viral infection and therefore would be useless in treating your symptoms. Instead, you might be better for a viral infection to use salt water gargles, honey, lemon, and cough drops. Be sure to take all the medication if it is a bacterial because the infection can come back worse if you don't. Strep throat can be very serious and lead to a heart infection so be sure to take the medication if that's what you have. Good luck and feel better!
Hi, good day! I used Neo-Penotran Forte-L on my 12 weeks of pregnancy, I experienced pain in my lower abdomen on the 2nd day until the last of day using it (used it for 7 days), so i'm worried if the antibiotic safe for my baby?
Thanks for asking! I am unfamiliar with Neo-Penotran Forte-L because it is not used in my area. You can check with your local pharmacist on the safety of this medication as well as your healthcare provider. Feel better!

Can I use doxinate tab with zaftron 4md in a day for nausea and vomtings
Thanks for asking! Zofran can be used for vomiting during pregnancy. It can be very effective. Doxinate is often used for nausea during pregnancy and is also safe. It is also an excellent medication. The only caution is both of these medications can make you sleepy, so be careful when operating heavy machinery. If you can, please like my video and subscribe to my channel. It really helps me out!

I am 20 weeks pregnant and having UTI symptoms. My doctor is not available so I saw another one on the second day, after experiencing mild symptoms. I was prescribed Fosfomycin 3 mg/single dose even though my urine culture results are not out yet (I expect them in 3 days, when I’ll see the doctor again). The urine tested negative for nitrites, WBC, blood, glucose, ketones, etc.
I’ve increased my water intake and I’m taking cranberry capsules 480 mg daily as prescribed.
Should I take the Fosfomycin or wait another 3 days to see the doctor again with my urine culture results? Thank you!
Thanks for asking! UTIs can be very dangerous during pregnancy and can cause preterm labor or miscarriage. Fosfomycin is safe use during pregnancy and is effective at treating UTIs. However, if you are experiencing minor symptoms and you are monitoring your temperature, you can wait for the culture. However, this is not recommended because UTIs can cause serious illness quickly. Instead, they will switch out the antibiotic if they find it is not effective for your strain. I am sending you love and light and healing thoughts.
As far as l am concerned, cranberries shouldn't be taken in pregnancy. Hope you are enjoing you baby now 😘
I’m 6w pregnant and was prescribed Microbid. Is it safe this early in pregnancy? What about azythromycin as I have a pack the ER prescribed but never used? This is for a UTI with trace amounts of bacteria. I was diagnosed about 2 weeks ago so I’m sure it’s gotten worse since.
Thanks for asking! Macrobid and Azithromycin are safe for use during pregnancy when the benefits outweigh the risks. It's important to treat UTI's because they can cause preterm labor and miscarriage. Be sure to take all the medication as prescribed by your healthcare provider or the infection can come back worse. Feel better!
Hi Amber,
Hope your birth went smoothly. Just curious if you took the azythromycin because my wife took a single 1 gram dose at 5 weeks and I’m really nervous. Thank you for your time!
Hello, may i ask if it safe to take ciprofloxacin . Im 21 weeks pregnant
Thanks for asking! Ciprofloxacin is safe for use during pregnancy when the benefits outweigh the risks. However, there are antibiotics with a safer medication profile. I would speak with your healthcare provider and ask to discuss the risks versus benefits as well as other options to treat your infection. It's important to treat infections because they can cause preterm labor and miscarriage. Be sure to take all the medication as prescribed by your healthcare provider or the infection can come back worse. Feel better!

Hey I hope I get an answer
but I was prescribed metronidazole for an std / Sti and I am 8 weeks pregnant I took 4 at one time as instructed on my prescription I googled and am seeing it's not good to take (2017 but also seeing that in recent studies (2020) they came to the conclusion that it wasn't linked to anything harmful to the fetus. What is your input on this ? Or advice ? Do I need to worry ?
Thanks for asking! The latest studies don't show any adverse effects. The STD that metronidazole treats can cause miscarriage. Therefore, the benefits of taking the medication far outweigh the risks. I have seen it used many times. Take the medication as your healthcare provider prescribed. I am sending you love and light and healing thoughts.
@@TheMaternityMentor thanks so much for responding fast I will most definitely subscribe to you thank you for the well wishes ♥️

i'm 6 weeks pregnant. i had an incident that caused my leg to get 3 stitches. i was prescribed with 500mg amoxicillin 3 times a day for week, but in day 8 doctor had to add another stripe amoxicillin because my stitches got swollen and redness. is it safe to take amoxillin more than a week?
Thanks for asking! Yes - it is safe to take Amoxicillin for longer and it's very important you do. If that infection gets worse and into your blood, it can be very dangerous for your baby. Keep a close eye on the cut. If it gets worse, go back. you may need a different antibiotic. Also, make sure you take all the medication as prescribed, even when it starts to look better. If you don't, the infection can come back worse. I am sending you love and light and healing thoughts.

@TheMaternityMentor I'm currently 8 months pregnant and was diagnosed with UTI. The doctor at our local hospital gave me Cefuroxime Axetil 500g to be taken 2 times a day for 7 days to treat my condition(my OB was not available at this moment) but after 2 days of taking it, I felt itchy in my genital area-I am currently on my 4th day in this medication. I was also diagnosed with UTI way back in my 2nd trimester and my OB gave me Co-amoxiclav to treat it and I also felt an itchy genital while taking the said antibiotics. I went back to my OB and had him known my condition and he said my UTI was gone already and what I was experiencing was BV.Why I am always feeling itchy down there whenever I take antibiotics? Is it because of a BV again or could be just a reaction to antibiotics? I do look forward to your response Ma'am.Thank you!

Hello, my wife was 5 weeks pregnant and caught a stomach bacteria from food that gave her terrible diarrhea. After 5 days of bad diarrhea she was prescribed 1 single 1 gram dose of Azithromycin. She took the medicine because her OBGYN was more concerned about the chance of dehydration. The azithromycin worked perfectly well but now I’m nervous after reading some studies… do you have any experience with this specific antibiotic and what are your thoughts? Thank you so much for your time!

Hi, I am currently on my 13 weeks. I was prescribed with Antibiotic called “Cephalexin” … but after taking it for 2 days, i started to feel my genital area being itchy. I also feel nauseous when I take the tablet.
Should i stop using it?

@@TheMaternityMentor i reported it to my fam doctor and they said i can stop using it, taking it for 3-5 days is already fine.
Here’s my situation. Last Sunday night I was feeling unwell, i started to have fever and started to have body pain and lower back pain. I had been puking 5 times that night even I took the anti nausea medication. I also have headache.
The next day (Monday) I went to Urgent Care, coz I was really awful and told them about my concern and symptoms. They did blood work and pee test, I took tylenol coz my fever was getting high while waiting. They said I have UTI. I was only admitted for 6 hrs, they gave me an IV so I wouldnt get dehydrated coz I couldnt keep down food and had vomitted. They gave me antibiotic and Gravol which is an anti nausea. They ran them through the IV as well.
The next day, I felt like my headache was coming back and started to feel unwell again, I already started coughing too. I did the antigen covid test and I got positive for covid.
I was thinking that the diagnosis was wrong in the first place if they could have just tested me for covid as well. My family doctor reviewed my lab result from urgent care and found that I dont really have a UTI and that my symptoms could be from Covid. I was advised that I can stop the antibiotic then coz i told about the vaginal itching. I know you were saying that it needs to be completed or it will come back worse but how can i finish it if it wasnt really about UTI?
Is it ok to take antibiotic cephalexin during pregnancy together with vitamins like ferous and ascorbic acid
Thanks for asking! Yes it is safe to take those medications during pregnancy but they should be separated. Iron is a funny substance that can sometimes affect the absorption of other medications and vitamins. Take your vitamin C and Iron either 1 hour before or 2 to 3 hours after the antibiotic. When you have completed your course of antibiotics, go back to your regular schedule. If you can, please like my video and subscribe to my channel. it really helps me out! Thanks!

Hi! I’m 20 weeks pregnant and was prescribed azithromycin for bacterial vaginosis. It’s 2 500 mg tablets but I was told to take it all at once so 1000 mg. I’m freaking out and do not know what to do. I have had three people tell me it’s safe to take, but I lost a baby before this pregnancy and so I’m so worried about taking it. Wanted to get your input if possible.
I see a lot of people saying they took 500mg, but I was told to take both tablets at once, so that’s why I’m so worried. I’m not sure if I should just do the 500 once and then the 500 again the same day or all together.

Hello Doc, I am 2 or 3 weeks pregnant when I take ciprofloxacin to cure my cramps that I thought I had UTI, coz when I used pregnancy test it's negative result. But when I got another test after 2 weeks it came out positive result, so now I am so worried is there any negative effect this to my baby ? Hope you will notice this comment thank you ❤️
Thanks for asking. Unfortunately, there is no way to know for sure if there were effects on your baby. Ciprofloxacin can be harmful during pregnancy and is safer for use in the late second trimester and third trimester. Make sure you advise your healthcare provider of the situation so they can monitor the pregnancy carefully. I am sending you love and light and healing thoughts.
we have same case, may I know the condition of your baby?

I’m 7 weeks pregnant and I was prescribed Trimethoprim / Sulfamethoxazole for my uti the kind I have is methicillin resistant. They told me to take it two times a day for 10 days to cure my uti and I’m worried it will harm the baby I’ve been reading things online.
Thanks for asking! This must be very stressful. I would go back to your healthcare provider and have a discussion to determine if there is any other antibiotic you can try including IV antibiotics. This medication can be potentially harmful to your baby. However, not treating your UTI can lead to a systemic infection in you that can cause death for both you and baby so it is very important you receive treatment. I am sending you love and light and healing thoughts.
may I know the condition of your pregnancy ma'am? because my wife has the same case as yours. Thanks and God bless.

I hope you see this, I've watched your video. This may help me if you reply. I am a first time mom. Is it okay to take cefuroxime 500mg cause I am currently 13 weeks & 6 days. I had an acute infection due to my cough. ☹️ thank you & God Bless!
Thanks for asking! Cefuroxime is safe for use during pregnancy when the benefits outweigh the risks. It's important to treat infections because they can cause preterm labor and miscarriage. Be sure to take all the medication as prescribed by your healthcare provider or the infection can come back worse. Feel better!
I have used Amoxicillin after 4 month of pregnancy for 7 day and next I have to use same medicine after 6 month and again I am infected may be I have to take that medicine again is it safe
Thanks for asking! Amoxicillin has been used for many years and has been shown to be safe during pregnancy. If you need an antibiotic, it's important to take it as prescribed. Infections can be more harmful than most medications during your pregnancy. If you can, please like my video and subscribe to my channel. It really helps me out. Thanks.
Hello,
I am 9 weeks and was prescribed Nitrofurantoin 100mg, 7 days. I have been drinking them, but I’m scared. I read somewhere that it can cause birth defect and cannot be consumed 1st trimester.
Thanks for asking! Nitrofurantoin can be used during the first trimester when the risk outweighs the benefits. Studies results have shown a variety of things. UTIs can cause miscarriage and preterm birth if left untreated or treated poorly. Nitrofurantoin is extremely effective which is why it is often used for pregnant women. Talk with your healthcare provider and ask if a different medication can be used. Also, make sure you take all the medication as prescribed. Do not stop when you start to feel better or the infection make come back worse. Good luck! If you can, please like my video and subscribe to my channel. It really helps me out! Thanks!

Hi my Wifi take 2 co amoxiclab it is okay? It can effect baby?
Thanks for asking! I am unfamiliar with Amoxiclab because it is not used in my area. You can check with your local pharmacist on the safety of this medication as well as your healthcare provider. Feel better!
Hi, am 8 weeks 2days pregnant and I was prescribed an antibiotic but the one that was prescribed to me wasn't available so the pharmacist gave my husband Augmentin 625mg and said it was the same as the first pill prescribed and am very hesitant to take...is it possible that you can advance me in the right direction...also I've used Augmentin in the pass and it gave me yeast infection soo yeahh
Great question! Augmentin is definitely safe during pregnancy including during the first trimester. One of my past jobs prior to being a nurse was working as a pharmacy technician. Pharmacists are licensed in regards to dispensing medications. They are authorized to switch out medications that are equivalent when one medication is not available, especially if the medication is urgently needed like an antibiotic for an infection. The most common scenario for this is when the provider writes a prescription for a brand name drug and its switched for the generic or vice versa. I wonder if your provider wrote for the generic which is Amoxicillin Clavulanate and they gave you the brand name Augmentin instead. If you are concerned, always talk with your provider but Augmentin is safe.
As far as the yeast infection goes, I completely understand. Antibiotics are rough for women. Pregnancy makes it worse. Ask your provider if you can add a probiotic for the next few weeks. Also ask what they would prefer you use in case you develop one. I actually have a video on yeast infections during pregnancy. Here's the link:

@@TheMaternityMentor thankyou so much for this !!! Have medicine anxiety and 13wks pregnant had a loss before this and so nervous to take my amox -clav augmentine every 12hrs with 20pills over next 10 days , had bad strep pharyngitis with a fever , now gone but super nervous and keeping a eye out
Hi I'm 8 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with a UTI last Monday at my family doctor. And was told by my doctor that the reoccurrence is due to a kidney stone that I have. I was prescribed the Safelevo 500mg to take half for 10 days. Is this safe and will it harm my baby?
Thanks for asking! Safelevo is a medication that contains Levofloxacin. This can be used during pregnancy when benefits outweigh risks. It's important to discuss with your doctor whether there are any other options available. However, leaving the UTI untreated is more dangerous than taking the medication. Untreated UTIs can cause miscarriage. I am sending you love and light and healing thoughts.

i’m using metronidazole gel for 5 days i’m afraid by using it but is it safe for my baby?

Be sure to take all the medication as prescribed by your healthcare provider or the infection can come back worse. Feel better!
I have a UTI and they had to switch me from taking macrobid, to taking Bactrim DS twice a day for 5 days. I am 14 weeks pregnant and read there is less risk in second trimester. Is this true?
Thanks for asking! Bactrim can be used when the benefits outweigh the risks, however there are other medications that are safer for use during pregnancy. I would reach out to your healthcare provider to determine if there is a medication that has a safer profile for pregnancy. I am sending you love and light and healing thoughts.

Hello, I just took my first dose of cefadroxil (duricef) for a uti. I’m currently 19 weeks pregnant. Now I’m worried Is it safe??
Also wanted to note, I called the pharmacy and got the okay to open the capsule and add it to a small cup of unsweetened 100% cranberry juice. (The pills are way too large for me to be able to swallow since I have GERD). So I will be taking the medication in a small cup of liquid.

That is definitely ok with this medication.

Hi good day, my wife just got her laboratory in urinalysis yesterday, her pus cells is 5-8 and RBC is 1-3,it made us worry because it might she has uti...
We hesitate to go her midwife and check her result because we afraid the antibiotics that be given to her because my wife is now in her 38 weeks,..
Is it safe to take antibiotic even she is 38 weeks pregnant?.
Hope you will notice my message ma'am 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks so much! It is absolutely safe to use antibiotics at 38 weeks pregnancy. In fact, if she was to have a cesarean section, they would automatically give her antibiotics prior to delivery to prevent infection. Please get her treated now. If the UTI is left untreated, she could get very sick and have sepsis in a week which can be life-threatening to her and the baby. Both of them will be ok, if she takes antibiotics. Good luck!

I take fluimucil for my cough is it safe for pregnant?
Thanks for asking! Fluimucil is a medication used to thin mucus in the lungs. This medication is considered safe for use if the benefits outweigh the risks. It is not an antibiotic which means you should be able to take it as needed. I would discuss the use of this medication with your healthcare provider and determine the risks/benefits of taking it. If it is helping you breathe better, that is very important for your baby. If it is just for symptom relief, it may be best to limit its use. Feel better!

Hi I’m 10week pregnant I’m taking amoxicillin 500mg three time a day for 7 day to treat my tooth infection is safe?
Thanks for asking! Amoxicillin is safe for pregnancy! Furthermore, I am glad you are getting your tooth infection treated. Teeth infections can lead to miscarriage and preterm birth which is why it is so important to get them treated. Continue to take the antibiotic as prescribed, even after you start to feel better. If you stop the medication too early, your infection will come back and be harder to treat.
