Im 8 wks preg today. They gave me amoxcillian(sp). What im worried about though is at 4 wks they put me on penncillian(sp) for a bacteria infection (i didnt know i even had it, they tested through my urine when we confirmed i was preg.). Is this to much med. to take in my first trimester??? I dont know much about strep...ive only had it 2 times! The pharmacy said it was a low dose of amoxi...but it still worries me! Should i take the med??? Or should i just wait for the strep to go away on its own?? Please help!!!! Its been one problem after the other! On top of that they are worried im not eating enough b/c ive been sick so when they weighed me today i lost 3 lbs in a week! I drink lots of liquids and juice. Ive been eating cheese crackers and soup too...do you think thats enough for baby??? Thanks soooo much girls!!!!!!

| the only thing he said about it is that it was tested "possibly safe". And that i need to take it to clear the infection. Smoothie sounds really good! Thats a really good idea, ill have to make dh go to the store tonight lol. |
i think its our decision to take it or not now, but like Idony said, it wont go away on its own.
Are you able to keep some solid foods down now?
Here's a link on info about morning sickness i thought you might want to read it,

I remember when i had bad morning sickness it started right on christmas day, i had a hard time keeping water down, so i started taking my prenatal vitamin later on in the day, which helped me, i tried eating unsalted crackers before i got out of bed, if i wasn't keeping much down through out the day i would have some drie toast then try something else a little later, i ate alot of soup my fiancee's mom made me some cabbage soup that was really yummy! i ate smaller meals...Then it got better, i would get sick once in the morning or at night, and at first there were some things i couldnt eat for the first little bit.
I never went on medication for it, my doctors told me it would get easier and try eating as much as you can when you can.
They only put you on medication if they think severe enough, so try your best to eat healthy small meals to help you feel better.

A lot of women lose weight in early pregnancy, it can be really normal for some people - especially with morning sickness. Why not ask your doctor to give you something for it? I'd think if they were that concerned, they'd have offered you some medication that can help with the MS.
TAKE THE ANTIBIOTIC! Sheesh. It doesn't do you or the baby any good not to. Why would your doctor prescribe something a pregnant woman couldn't take? That is silly! And your pharmacist knows you are pregnant, right? Well, they don't go handing over medication to pregnant women that will harm the fetus.
