I didn't realize I was pg until 9 weeks, and at 8 weeks I took a worming tablet because my DD had worms and the GP said everyone in the family should take it. It says on the packet do NOT take during pregnancy. I've spoken to my GP and to a consultant about it, and researched it online, and basically what I've learnt is that there is nothing PROVEN to say it harms the fetus, but it could. In animal studies, it was harmful to rat fetuses.
I am probably overreacting, but I am really upset by this. Just posting here in case anyone has any words of wisdom. How do you deal with having made mistakes in pregnancy? Anyone else done stuff they regret before they realized they were pg?
THanks!
