Severe bacteria infection??

I've had a severe bacteria infection for about 3 months now. I'm 7 weeks pregnant and i had it even before if ound out i was pregnant. I took some meds before i found out and then they prescribed me levquin iwasnt able to keep taking it due to the fact i found out i was pregnant. My ob.gyn is saying ic ant take any medicine right now for my bacteria infection just drink lots of water and eat yogurt and try to refrain from sex. Is that right tho?? can they not give me anything for it and how long will it take before they can? what's the effects of long term having an bacteria infection whle being pregnant? thank you

Severe bacteria infection??
No, if it is a bacterial infection, you need to be on an antibiotic. Infection leads to preterm labor.
Reply:It depends on the type of bacterial infection. Your Dr. will most likely put you back on a mild antibiotic in a couple weeks. You can almost guarantee a yeast infection while taking the antibiotics. Very common during pregnancy. After week 8 the risk of miscarriage is greatly reduced. Some bacterias won't even affect the baby where as the antibiotics will. So trust your Dr. and if you really don't get a second opinion and find a new OB/GYN.
Reply:Your OB/GYN wouldnt have you do anything that isnt safe for you and or baby.
Reply:It depends on what kind of infection, do you mean a yeast infection? That kind of infection is a fungus and isnt cured by antibiotics. The medicine for it is taken vaginally. If you are not sure what is going on, you need to see someone who will be sure of what is going on with your body.





If there is a chance you just don't understand what the doctor said, call and get him/her or the nurse to help settle this issue. It is vitally important for you and your baby!!!
Reply:That's absolutely ridiculous that they have no other options for you. They can give you antibiotics that's safe during pregnancy to treat that. It is absolutely necessary that you get that treated. I have known plenty of women that have had bacterial infections during their pregnancy and they have all gotten it treated. I suggest you change doctor's if they continue telling you they cannot help. I will tell you right now that water, yougurt, and no sex is not going to do anything at all!!!!!!.
