threadworm while pregnant??

[el123456]

Anyone had treadworm(ooooh)when pregnant.......?daughter keeps getting it from playschool and worried about it.She had it earlier in my pregnancy but this time i am closer to delivering and thats whats scaring me so much.sob sob.

Even if you do,they won't harm you.
Don't worry about it.

You could probably break the cycle naturally anyway by being scrupulous about keeping your fingers out of your mouth.

Yuk! Aren't kids filthy little beasts?
My lollipop lady was telling me that she got worms from the kids in her capacity as lollipop lady - which just goes to show how easily they're passed on. I wonder if it was my kids who gave it to her.

Why are you worried about it because you're pg? Are you not supposed to take the medicine when pg?

No you cant take the medicine and they take six weeks to clear naturally,the problem is im 36 weeks pregnant now.Can babies catch it during delivery?Thats whats worrying me the most.

Oh I see. There are supposedly more natural ways of getting rid of them. I think Moondog might be right about breaking the cycle. You'd have to wash all the bedding, keep your dds nails very short, both wear pants in bed etc.

I remember a whole list of things you can do about threadworm which don;'t involve the drugs in a book by Aviva Jill Romm. Perhaps you can get help online or at a health food shop for alternatives.

Good luck. What a drag!
