amoxicillin?

will amoxicillin harm my baby? I've got a water infection and the doctor prescribed me them. Also, if I take them does it cause thrush? I'm curious.

its safe to take but if its taking for along period of time it can cause you to have an yeast infection because its killing all the bacteria in your body

Amox is one of the easiest antibiotics for pregnant bodies to ingest! There's one I can't remember the name that makes me so sick I want to die lol

If your doctor prescribed it then it's  safe, the doctor knows best. They wouldn't prescribe  you something like that unless it was safe or unless the benefits outweighs the risks.

No lv they'll be fine.  And they are used to get rid of loads of other infections too so no I dont think they'd cause thrush either. Im on them at minute for same problem, nearly finished course and ive had no problems.  Im 27 weeks xx
