Puppy has worms and I'm pregnant

Puppy's had diarrhoea since Tuesday/Wednesday, we've been to the vets and she's got some thickening paste and some dioralyte type stuff as she's a bit dehydrated
But she's just done a (messy) pooh and there are things like grains of rice in it - these are worms right?
Also I'm 16 weeks pregnant, what if anything do I do?

Anyone have any advice?
Do I need to go to the doctors maybe? I'm presuming I should stop being the one who cleans up poo etc?

All puppies have worms - I'm worming mine monthly. And me and my kids this week too. Yep - get somebody else to clear up and phone the doc/midwife on Tuesday for a wormer safe for pregnancy (hope there is one).

You actually have to ingest the tapeworm ( which is what you saw) segments to be at risk. As long as you have good hygiene, I'm sure you do, there is no real risk.

How old is your puppy and when was she last wormed? (Seems to me, that is quite a long time for a puppy to have diarrhoea).

Do all puppies have worms? I've never noticed anything in Monty's poo. Confused
