A member asked:
35 weeks pregnant, recommended to take antibiotics because a family member has a staph infection, is it really necessary?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask your OB doc: I am not aware of any antibiotic recommendations for staph exposure in a healthy pregnant woman, but your circumstances may be high risk for reasons I am not aware of. My suggestion is to consult with your obstetrician about the reasons why he/she thinks antibiotics are needed.
