That's funny, I had sinusitis when breastfeeding and GP said there was nothing I could safely take.

Yes. You need to be healthy. I've had to take steriods as well for my asthma but to carry well to term I HAVE to be healthy and capable of breathing. That's life honey. Get well soon.

I did at 36 weeks but it was an infection that could have affected the baby - he is a healthy strapping 15 month old now!

Am 37 wks. After 2 sleepless nights with terrible earache I finally went to the Dr. So tired I felt sick and kept bursting into tears. It took Dr seconds to prescribe Amoxycillin.

On my 3rd day now and starting to feel better.
It must be better for baby for me to be happy and on the road to recovery.

Drs are so reluctant to prescribe antibiotics these days that if you get them take them. Its the dr's job to decide if the benefits outweigh the risks, and they must feel that you need them.

I wouldn't wait and give the infection a chance to turn really nasty.

i have just been given them for a cough as the only medicine i could take was this crap glycerin stuff from boots and which was not shifting anything!

Emkane, I had sinusitus last month for the first time - for a few days I stuggled on as I thought it was a pregnancy headache but it just got worse. i don't drink while pregnant and am generally paranoid = don't even take paracetemol while preg, but took the amoxiclilin without hesitation. Don't worry about it - the sinusitus needs treating properly or it might be there for good - I also used sinuscleanse and a netipot see https://www.shopholistic.co.uk/index.php?cat_id=115&catname=Nasal+Cleansing+%28Neti%29+Accessories
basically pouring salted water though your nose but higly recommended. And sniff vicks and use menthol inhalent stuff. Best of luck!

i would. i'm on them at the mo.
You don't want to get worse and pass it on to your baby.

I've taken them for sinus problems and a UTI in this pg. Not pleased about it, but better than continuing in pain / ending up with more problems. Make sure you've got the thrush treatments to hand if you're somebody that gets thrush with a/b's though.

emkana I have had 11 (count'em) courses of antibioics this pregnancy plus 2 courses of steroids for pneumonia along with evil iron infusion drugs and they are perfectly happy to use all these drugs in pregnancy.

Amoxyll has been used for decades in pregnancy with no reported ill effects to the baby. I would certainly suggest you start them asap as delaying it might cause the infection to get worse necessitating stronger doses of antibiotics to get rid of it.

Hope you feel better soon.
