POSSIBLE TMI ALERT

I know I said think in the title but I'm 99% sure I do and DS (5) does too.
I'm nearly 7 weeks pregnant and I have been completely floored with nausea. The last 3 days though I have all of a sudden had really bad cramps in my tummy and awful diarrhoea.
It happened tonight and then I felt a weird sensation round my bum. When I wiped, I saw a worm moving around. It's made me feel even more physically sick!!!
Please someone tell me this is easily dealt with!!

You can take food grade diatomaceous earth. It's a powder you mix and drink, try it in orange juice. This horrific circumstance happened to me and diatomaceous earth (I bought mine on amazon) sorted the issue in a couple of days. Much better than weeks of scrubbing everything, I just could not stand the idea of them for that long! It works by scratching up the worms skin in your intestines and killing them fast but is totally harmless to you and your baby. No GP knew about this when I was desperate. I gave it to my whole family, job done and no need for a prescription. I'm sure you can do your own research but I promise this works.

Raw garlic works I know from experience.

Raw garlic - eaten
I'm really glad you said eaten. Paints quite the picture the other option Grin

This is the most recent thread I can find on this subject and am in desperate need of advice/support. Am 37 weeks pg with no. 4 and have caught worms from the kids. Whole house has been treated with mebendazole of course, nearly a week into strict hygiene measures and I’m on my knees. Called doc and no help, they can offer nothing. Just 6 weeks of killing myself washing bedding every day he said, deep cleaning all the time. I’m exhausted, low iron levels and basically had a breakdown over it all yesterday, couldn’t stop crying, hit the wardrobe and broke it. I can’t face giving birth with them, can’t keep going with this cycle of such strict hygiene measures/washing, esp having just given birth. I have lost hope and am not sleeping, so uncomfortable. Heard about the diamotaceous earth and bought some on Amazon yesterday. Too scared to try it though. DH says I should just take the mebendazole as the risks are low and only not prescribed due to no trials being done on pg women.
Sorry for the long post but I need help!
