ok im 41 weeks today. Past few days iv developed a dreadful ear infection in both ears its very painful and iv gone quite deaf. I didnt sleep at all last night due to the pain so i rang nhs direct this morning to see if there was anything i could do. After discussing my symptoms they got me an appointment with out of hours gp. He has prescribed antibiotic ear drops that contain steroids as its quite a severe infection. Went to the chemist and the pharmacist has told me he wont give me them till the baby comes out because they'll cause abnormalities such as cleft palate. I would never consider taking anything that would harm my baby but isnt it a tad late on to be worrying about this. Can he really refuse to give me them? Im so desperate and in so much pain. Someone please tell me i can go back and tell him he's gotta give me them im banging my head on the wall its so bloody painful :-(
