Found out I’m pregnant, but last week I was ok loads of meds from Quincy now I’m worried

[Loudloopy]

Hi all

Found out I’m pregnant 🤰🏽, so happy, couple of weeks ago I was in hospital with Quincy I was prescribed two different antibiotics and quite a big dose for a week, also when I went in with Quincy I was put on a drip with antibiotics and steroid to shrink it to drain it, I have to ring midwives Wednesday morning and they will hopefully reassure me but I’m so worried please help anyone

What is Quincy?

Extreme tonsillitis which blocks throat. OP only a trained person can help you. Maybe try ringing a pharmacist and ask them if the meds prescribed are safe in pregnancy?

I had quinsy when I was 28 weeks pregnant and had antibiotics and steroids. Obviously I can't be sure that I was on the same ones you've had, but it might reassure you to know that they were able to give me the meds and at no point was I told that the medication I had could be a risk to the pregnancy. A pharmacist or midwife will be able to help you properly though, because mine may have been different, plus I was at a different stage of pregnancy.

Thanks so much that’s made feel so much better, bloody helllll that’s most of been awful as Quincy is horrid anyway without being heavily pregnant 😩😩 xxxx

.

Does Quincy have another name? Google's entire front page is about the show...

I have no knowledge to impart, OP but my fingers are crossed for you

She means quinsy, it’s a form of tonsillitis.

It's a peritonsillar abscess. Best treatment is to let an ENT doctor stick a needle in it and drain the pus. Instant relief!

Bezalelle that's exactly what sprang to mind for me too!

Sorry OP, I hope you get some better help from other posters!

A severe infection isn't great in the early stages of pregnancy but lots of people have something like this experience and get through it ok. Was your temp very high? How pregnant are you?

I’m only 4/5 weeks gone so when it happens I would if only been a few days pregnant, I’ll be in touch with midwife Wednesday so hopefully god news I did tell them I was trying for a baby xxx

I had that done it was instant relief, I felt so so so much better for it xxx

Didnt have quinsy but i will try to reassure you. I was seriously ill during pretty much my whole pregnancy. Had a major emergency pelvic surgery under general anesthetic in early pregnancy. Constant antibiotics and many times strong IV antibs and steriods for infections, morphine and various other medications during the whole pregnancy. DC was born totally fine all be it a little premature but that was likely to be totally unrelated to any of my health problems.
Hopefully when you speak to midwife they can reassure you
Congratulations !

I used to love Quincy

Hey hun ! Wow that sounds horrific, it’s crazy what we can go through but our baby’s are fine, thankfully I spoke to midwife all ok, so I feel I can relax now thank god, xxxx thanks for the advice everyone xxxx
