The first one was Amoxicillin because doc said it was safest, but it didn't do me any good.</p> <p>My DD is 14 months and healthy as a horse. I hope you're starting to feel better. I had said sinus infection when I delivered and it was hell. Rest up mama and best of luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-amoxicillin-while-pregnant#post-2526656 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 09:10:15 +0000 iluvboba637 2526656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was prescribed keflex for a simultaneous sinus infection and UTi in the first tri. And I think they gave me amoxicillin in my iv during labor bc my Gbs results did not come back yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-amoxicillin-while-pregnant#post-2526639 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 08:49:29 +0000 Pollywog 2526639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know amoxicillin is a penicillin and they give another form of penicillin with group b strep. I'd assume it is fine. At 39 weeks I wouldn't worry about it-- you don't want to go through labor sick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-amoxicillin-while-pregnant#post-2526638 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 08:49:03 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2526638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did and would not again.<br /> Despite never having a reaction while not pregnant I had liver problems and became borderline ICP before my 10 day script was finished. I was unbearably itchy waking at night. Three months pp I still have scars from where I scratched too much.<br /> It's a very rare side effect but it made me so miserable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-amoxicillin-while-pregnant#post-2526629 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 08:38:25 +0000 gotkimchi 2526629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally safe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-taken-amoxicillin-while-pregnant#post-2526628 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 08:37:50 +0000 autumnleaves 2526628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 39 weeks and went to my PCP today after dealing with congestion, lots of mucus, sore throat, losing my voice, etc. The dr thinks it's a sinus infection and prescribed amoxicillin. I know it's considered a safe drug to take while pregnant but I am still nervous about it. Have you taken amoxicillin while pregnant? Do you recommend contacting the OB first and running it by them? Since it's the weekend I feel bad calling them about something like this since it's not an emergency.<br /> Thanks for your insight. </p>
