Threadworms!! Paranoid

[mummyr1988]

Well my son caught threadworms a week ago 😬😷 which I have never seen before and I treated the whole family with the medication from the pharmacy and been para with hygiene but I am 30 weeks pregnant and cannot have it, well I noticed today I tint threadworm in my poo!! So I have them now!! Been doctors and they can't do anything basically I have to just keep up the hygiene measures that I am already and they will apparently run its course and go has anyone had this I'm paranoid now and nakering myself out cleaning and washing everything constant 😢😢

Carrying threadworms doesn't do you or your baby any harm : it's just an annoyance. We had threadworms in the family when I was pregnant too and with good hygiene and by treating the rest of the family, it eventually ran its course. No need to panic.

How long did it take to actually go in the end?? I can understand how we got it we are so clean and tidy? X

A few weeks I think. It didn't particularly bother me. The itching was annoying but not that bad. It's spread very easily - if a child has it on their hands through scratching, it can get everywhere. The eggs can also transfer onto clothing and bed linen and may then become airborne when you change the sheets or wash the clothes of an infected person so it's easy to get infected if you're the person who does the laundry.
