Help! is a dientamoeba infection during pregnancy harmful? can it make my fetus sick or cause mental retardation? i had it first trimester.

Dietamoeba infection: Treatment may be with tetracycline or flagyl. Speak to your OB about drug toxicity. The worm should not affect the fetus or cause retardation.
