After 9 hours in a&e yesterday, I was sent home with antibiotics (co-amoxiclav) for the probable splinter in my knuckle. I'm 14 weeks pregnant. Obviously they've tried reassuring me of its safety, but in the absence of clinical trials, and the presence of 'do not take in pregnancy' warnings on the label and online, I'm scared to take them.
Obviously the consequences of any potential infection if I don't take them would be worse though.
Please talk sense into me. This is my first and probably only pregnancy, and I'm feeling so upset at this situation.
