Question 1

could i test positive for group b strep with all of my pregnancies?

Accepted Answer

Does not matter: If you are beta strep + once u automatically get treated with antibiotics with your next labor, whether you are + or not because sometimes the culture can miss a + one so the rule is once you have been + then u get antibiotics anyway but u will still be tested  no big deal.

Question 2

is emerg-c ok to take in pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

No need: There is no real need to be taking 10 x the amount of Vitamin C at any time and certainly not during pregnancy. The benefits of massive doses of Vitamin C have been disproven.

Question 3

is efferflu c safe to use in pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Safety not establish: Efferflu c ingredients Echinaceae purpurea, Zinc and Vit C are not teratogenic but there are no studies that have established its total safety in pregnancy

Question 4

is andolex-c safe during pregnancy? 15 week

Accepted Answer

No: Avoid as it is unknown how your baby may be affected. It has little systemic effect. I think Doctors May employ a risk -benefit ratio assessment. That is: if the benefit outweighs the risk, they may prescribe it. I avoid prescribing it.

Question 5

what does category c mean for pregnancy risk?

Accepted Answer

No human studies: There are animal studies showing adverse risk to the fetus but no human studies are available.

Question 6

after d&c when can i plan for next pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Depends: This may depend on when you miscarried and whether or not you had a d;c.  In the setting of a d;c, it would be reasonable to recommend to a patient to wait until your second normal period before you start trying again.

Question 7

d&c in 5minutes for 4weeks pregnancy possible?

Accepted Answer

Yes: yes, often a very quick procedure

Question 8

good day dr. im 4 weeks in pregnancy, can i take corenza c during pregnancy. ?

Accepted Answer

NO!: Corenza C has aspirin,antihistamines and decongestants;those should be avoided in pregnancy- esp. the first trimester, when babies are highly susceptible to toxic exposures; I advise avoiding ALL drugs in early pregnancy.It sounds like you have a cold; drugs like this may ease symptoms but do not help you get better; you can get by without them, but can try Vit. C, zinc lozenges and homeopathy.

Question 9

8/11/15= 294 (4 wks 1 day); 8/18/15=799 (5 wks 1 day); 8/24/15=1504 (6 wks). no bleeding, no hx of m/c, is pregnancy viable?

Accepted Answer

Not great: I assume those are BHCG levels. This is not a great rise in them, although hey are going up. Did you have a progesterone level drawn? You need to discuss this with your OB.

Question 10

could i have a successful pregnancy after 3 losses and 3 c-sections? dr says too risky and be happy i have 3 living, but i want one last baby.

Accepted Answer

Being a Mother: I tend to agree with your doctor. I spent years working with children and high risk pregnancies. Your children that you have need to grow up with their mother.  I would not risk your health or life on that innate feeling of wanting to reproduce.  Your doctor have your very best interests at heart. Continue to be a great mother to your children.
