minocycline in pregnancy

Hi Can anyone, please give me any advice, Ive been taking minocycline tablets for 5 months and have just found out I am 4 weeks pregnant the last few days I increased the dose to 200mg as my skin was terrible. I am now worried sick that I have caused fetal damage to my nuborn baby.  

Can anyone advise me what to do

Thank you.

I was also on Minocycline and when I fell pregnant had to stop taking it under my doctors advice.
I don't think you should worry about it harming your baby from taking it the past few weeks but you should stop taking it and maybe talk to your doctor about alternatives.
I still continued to use the topical face treatment and I actually found that during my pregnancy my skin has cleared up a lot.
I hope this helps and all the best with your pregnancy x

Thanks Mog for your advise, did your doctor send you for any early scans to check fetus. Also was everything ok with your baby and healthy when born.

Thanks again x

They didn't send me for early scans.
It wasn't a concern for them.
My son was due today but he still hasn't arrived but he is a healthy little bub with no problems what so ever.
Try not to stress because that is probably worst for you and your bub than anything else.
All the best.
