I was and am on amoxcillin right now, my Dr said its the safest antibiotic during pregnancy, I am currently 9wks and 4days. But I also got a yeast infection after I started it but both pregnancy and antibiotics cause them so yeah!!! Lol, well other then the yeast infection I felt my baby moving for the first time today, so hopefully everything is okay

This May be a coincidence but I went to the dr for an u/s on a thursday. I was 8 weeks and heartbeat was strong  at 174. Next day I got really sick and was prescribed the  z-pack....that night I had very heavy bleading and went to the ER. Heartbeat was still strong at 176. I was diagnosed with threatened miscarriage. My next apt is next week and I will be 12 weeks. I pray everything is ok.  But I do wonder if the antibiotic had something to do with the bleeding.

I don't see how that could be professional for the nurses to laugh at you. I swear excellent customer service doesn't exist anymore. I'm sorry for your loss.

I don't see it being the medication, I was prescribed it during my pregnancy and my son was fine. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Nothing is safe until you speak with your Dr! What may be safe for one pregnancy may not be safe for another. However, if its been prescribed by your Dr. I'm sure its fine.

Hi, I was prescribed this by my doc for cystitis. I was about 9 weeks, BUT I had to stop taking it as it caused really bad cramps and bloating! But as my doc prescribed it then I would say it was safe x
