Anyone else get pink eye while pregnant? Did you have eye drops and an antibiotic? I'm 38 weeks and think I have possible pink eye. Goopy, watery left eye 
I'm also fighting a cold at the moment so I thought the watery eye might be from that, but my eye does look a bit irritated and red...
I see a trip to urgent care in my future!

I"m 38 weeks too and had pink eye like 2 weeks ago. My daughter had it and had the antibiotic drops and then I had a cold...and started getting the goopy eye as well. I went to see DR and they gave me antibiotic drops, even though they were on the "C" list of medication meaning could be dangerous, weigh benefits/risks...I wasn't sure I wanted to take them so I just got some lubricating eye drops, did lots of washing, no eye make up etc....and luckily it cleared up on it's own. I asked if there was any eye drops they could give that were not "C" list and the DR said no...but I read that's not true online.

@winter_wonder: I started to get it after my toddler had it and I immediately put one drop in my eye( not recommended but I used my lo drops) and then again in the morning and it stopped it from progressing. The drops were a category C but I only used 2 drops otherwise definitely would've gotten the other drops that are a Category. B and safer for pregnant women.

@ksnow @jh524: thanks for responding! It is pink eye 
I got some eye ointment that's class B to use. I hope it kicks in soon.

I had it late in my second trimester. My husband had pink eye too, but they gave us different eye drops. It cleared up pink eye and baby is fine.
