Also, the study was observational, so the researchers can't say for certain that taking these antibiotics actually caused the birth defects, just that there was a link. And, although this and other studies have found the potential for risks to the baby, others have found minimal risks. Clark, M. Clark says. Because the evidence is so mixed, we don't know exactly how likely it is for either of these drugs to actually cause birth defects. Doctors, midwives, nurse practitioners, and physicians assistants don't need to stop prescribing these antibiotics to pregnant women in the first trimester altogether, ACOG says.
Instead, practitioners should only prescribe these particular antibiotics when no others are available or effective. Penicillins, erythromycin, and cephalosporins may be better options.
Basically, these drugs should be a last resort during the first trimester—not a first-line of defense. In some cases, the results and your personal sensitivities to certain antibiotics like penicillin or cephalosporin may indicate that nitrofurantoin or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole are the best way to go.
You know how you get to be in so much pain that you can't even rationalize. I tried taking a Tylenol PM hoping I would just sleep through the pain, but that just made me shake I was hurting so bad. So I feel better now knowing that it is safe to take, and that I didn't do anything horribly wrong. Lord knows if my child is born with any sort of birth defect, I would never forgive myself for taking that one AZO pill! AZO is basically just cranberry pills is it not?
Well I went to the er last night, I couldn't take the pain anymore. I was shaking and crying and feeling nauseous it hurt so bad.
So the Dr. Thank the Lord, i just wanted to die. My stomach,pelvic area, and my whole back was spazzing and today i have had cramps but there not as frequent or nearly as painful.
