A member asked:
Can patients with heart murmurs take antibiotics for labor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can or should?: You can. Whether you should or not totally depends on the nature of the delivery and the nature of the murmur. I do not think that even mitral murmurs are treated with prophylactic antibiotics for normal labor and delivery. Any OB docs out there?
