Help ! I just found out I'm 5 weeks pregnant and I'm really worried because I was prescribed a 7 day course of trimethoprim for a UTI 2 weeks ago and I didnt know I was pregnant.
I have roughly calculated that when i started the AB's it would have been 1-2 weeks since conception which from what i have read is the crucial time for neural development. Just by chance i started taking folic acid with 4 days left on the trimethoprim course so i hope this helped???
I think the placenta and blastocyst forms at this stage - and I'm really concerned about the risks of birth defects.
I saw my GP who said I had to wait till 12 wk scan and she couldn't say it would be fine - just that 'its not ideal'. I dont think I can wait that long!
Has anyone experienced or know of a similar situation ?
Im just so worried and really really hope its all going to fine and cant celebrate my pregnancy yet
