    It's safe but antibiotics kill good and bad bacteria so you might end up with thrush passing to baby or yeast infection.

    Ask dr about probiotics...they are good bacteria and help to kill the bad bacteria.......but check about breastfeeding.may be an option???

    @mommy2be ive been getting a dragging/pulling pain for about 5 days and 2 days ago it started to burn when I pass water! I didnt get cut or anything tho. I havent really been resting tho so think that might be the reason for some of the pain :-/ im gonna have to see my dr tomorrow.

    @everyone thank you all for your advice I really appreciate it :-)
