Worms and pregnant 😭

[Bozbiza]

I discovered on Sunday I have worms, was absolutely horrified! I’m 30 weeks pregnant and panicked and took an ovex and treated the whole house, been following super strict hygiene, cleaning constantly and washing to the point of having red raw hands! I’ve seen ovex isn’t recommended in pregnancy and read a lot conflicting information after but have been checked out and baby is absolutely fine thank goodness! It’s now day 5 after ovex and there are still a lot of worms in my poop, they look dead but I’m panicking why there is still so many! I must have been riddled with them! Did anyone else also succumb to ovex and need to take the second dose and if you did how soon did you take it? Any advice is welcome, I’m absolutely horrified and embarrassed by it all, never heard of anyone having worms before! Can only think I’ve caught them from my son or many hospital visits I’ve had lately! Although he seems to have to no symptoms but I treated him none the less! Please give me some positive outcomes!

And wash all bedding each week ( yes I'm a slattern and tend to do kids beds two weekly)

@Hankunamatata thank you so much. Thankfully no kids here to contain in their pants! (first pregnancy). Just me and DH, I think I've picked these up over Christmas visits to other homes or something.

Tomorrow we take doses and strip the beds and replace the towels!!

I spoke to so many medical professionals and they all said it’s perfectly safe to take after 12 weeks. I do seem to get a dodgy tummy after taking it tho but that could also be down to me drinking milk when I’m intolerant 🤦‍♀️

For the past 6 weeks I’ve been washing my bedding daily for the first 2 weeks and since then every other day, same with the kids it’s draining me so much! I should be asleep right now but been cleaning 🤦‍♀️ I need to catch up on the past 6 weeks of no sleep
