Hi everyone,
I am a young first time Mum and have a serious concern which I would be so grateful for any reassurance/advice/help with. Does anyone here have any experience of taking trimethoprim in the first trimester, and if so were there any any harmful effects upon your baby or was all well?
I'm going out of my mind with worry as I took three days of trimethoprim tablets (400 mg a day) for a UTI in what I now realise was week 5 (of my pregnancy (it was unplanned and I didn't realise I was pregnant then. Wasn't taking any folic acid either). I'm now in week 7 and so so so scared about the potential harm these tablets may have done.
Have read some horrific things on the internet. Have spoken to GP but I get the impression that she doesn't know too much about its harmful effects upon developing fetus as she had to look the drug up and said she couldn't think why it would be harmful and seemed to shrug it off. According to my research it's one of the worst things you can take for your baby in the 1st trimester? Desperate for any advice or help!
Thank you
xxxxx
