A member asked:
If a pregnant woman has a tapeworm, can it affect her baby? i'm 5 months pregnant and thought i saw some small white specks in my stool.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely not tapeworm: Small white specks in your stool does not mean you have a tapeworm. You should check with your ob/gyn if you have persistent symptoms.
