Antibiotics :(
I am 30 weeks with my first baby, its a boy 
I saw my obgyn last week and told her my "lady area" had been itching like crazy/burning and it turns out I have bv...great. She put me on flagyl for a week. Then she tells me that the results of my previous labs had come in and that I have Lime Disease...WHAT? so aparently I got bit by a tick last summer which made me super sick but no one could figure out what was wrong with me...well they finally figured it out. I was relieved to have a diagnosis and to know that lime disease would not affect my baby but its just alot to take in. So my obgyn ended up perscribing me with flagyl (2 for 7 days for the bv) and amoxicillin ( a day for 21 days), needless to say I broke down and cried. I mean i barely like to take tylenol and now I had to take all these nasty antibiotics. After a looooong talk with my dr and later the pharmacist I worked up the courage to take them but i feel guilty every time I do. I dont know what I will do if anything happens to my baby because of these stupid meds. Baby is still active and nothing seems to have changed since I started taking them but I am still worried. Any one else out there taking anything your not comfortable with?
