Feeling sorry for myself

[CARNAT22]

I posted on Monday in Pregnancy chat about having an ingrown hair under my armpit.

It got worse and today I saw the nurse.

I am on a 7 day course of antibiotics (4 times a day!) and if that doesn't work I have to be referred to get it lanced.

If it gets worse I need to go to A&E and the icing on the cake is it's most likely an infection that will reoccur every now and then, the antibiotics will just get rid of this 'flare up'

I am upset as this is my second lot of antibiotics since my BFP [I had a severe gum infection a few months back] and I am scared it is going to effect bub?

I have touch wood been otherwise very healthy and calm but now I just feel like my body isn't going to go the duration?

I think you find that our body's do everything to protect the baby but the rest of us goes to shit! Baby will be fine they wouldn't give you antibiotics of it would harm the baby x

Yep everything I have taken has been pregnancy friendly

Ohh you poor thing! That sounds really rotten! I hope the antibiotics do their thing quickly, so as to avoind any further treatment.

I was on antibiotics for a week (trying to remember what they were called) - and the doctor said they were safe for LO, I'm sure they wouldn't prescribe something that could harm your LO. But I completely understand your concerns, I didn't like taking them either, knowing that it would go into the LO's blood stream.

Really hope they kick in soon though hun xx

Anti biotics wont harm LO. They would be at more harm if you didnt take them x

Thing is touch wood I am feeling great... Been a bit tired this week but so far I've had a lovely pregnancy.

I had a little tiredness and nausea in tri 1 but no classic "Pregnancy symptoms"

The only issues I've had is one cold, one coldsore and a few gum infections (and this stupid skin infection of course) so I am hoping this means bub is getting all he/she needs to the detriment of my immune system??

Also these antibiotics are for an an empty stomach? I am nearly 16 weeks pregnant and I eat about every hour LOL!!

Aww I hope it eases off soon and you feel better. It sounds horrid.
Your immune system will definitely be the bit that's suffering, the baby will absolutely be stealing everything good from you so you feel like utter rubbish. LO will be full of beans and healthy as anything
Also good luck with that empty stomach thing. I don't think I could do that without getting close to passing out 4 times a day!
