I was put on something else (sorry, can't remember what it was at the moment), but it was a class B drug. I would mention that you feel uncomfortable about it being a class C and see if there's another suggestion for something a little safer. Also, lots of baths with epsom salt help healing along! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bactrim-while-pregnant#post-466604 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 14:25:02 +0000 mrs. wagon 466604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh dear. Definitely check with your OB, but be careful. My coworker had a scratch on his thumb and turned into a staph infection, spiked a fever of 105, and was in the hospital for a week. They eventually did surgery on it and carved a huge piece out and saved his thumb. </p> <p>I took Bactrim while breastfeeding but not while pregnant. Just call your OB! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bactrim-while-pregnant#post-466568 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 14:03:50 +0000 stargal 466568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had used bactrim when I was around 20 weeks pregnant for a uti. It was perfectly safe my ob said. Lo is 6 months and no problems<br /> Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bactrim-while-pregnant#post-466523 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 13:45:54 +0000 T.H.O.U. 466523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my, I am really sorry. There are some homeopathic remedies for MRSA like Manuka Honey that you could talk about using.</p> <p><a href="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/09/090908-mrsa-staph-manuka-honey.html" rel="nofollow">http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/09/090908-mrsa-staph-manuka-honey.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bactrim-while-pregnant#post-465757 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 21:30:43 +0000 Ra 465757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had a cyst right on my underwear line for about a year now. My OB/GYN has been keeping an eye on it and always said that it was nothing to worry about and that it would be more trouble than it is worth to have it removed. It didn't bother me, so I let it be.</p> <p>However, a couple weeks ago the cyst came to a head (I'm guessing from my underwear rubbing) and burst. It has been draining ever since. I have been keeping it clean and keeping antibiotic ointment on it.</p> <p>Today, I had my 12 week check-up and had to see the other OB in the office (my first time seeing him). I had him check it and he did a culture and said it could be MRSA! WTF?! So, now I am freaking out. To make matters worse, he prescribed me a 10 day dose of Bactrim and the label says not to take while pregnant. I looked it up and it is a class C drug. Now I am freaking out even more.</p> <p>Has anyone else used Bactrim while pregnant? Did everything turn out ok? Has anyone had a staph infection while pregnant? What are the implications for the baby? </p>
