My doctor prescribed me with microbid 100 MG 90 capsules to take for bacterial infection until I'm due December 10th. I don't even think its even safe for me to take it especially for 90 days ... thoughts?

I wouldn’t take those. Why didn’t they give you antibiotics?

It is safe for pregnancy and for children. There is likely a reason for the long term prescription. Please talk to your provider about your concerns for medical reasons why you were prescribed this.

According to Google it’s safe and fine. So I’d just take it. Are you sure it’s for 90 days and not like multiple a day or something. Maybe it’s supposed to only be for a few weeks. I’d call the doctor and ask to make sure because you thought you shouldn’t take it at the end

Yes its for 90 days supply until I have my daughter but its because I had uti back to back my whole pregnancy . I'm confused honestly because antibiotics are generally used for a 7-10 day cycle.. im also aware I shouldn't take it when im 38 weeks and beyond because of the risk of hemolytic anemia even though my ob didn't bring up that risks to me .. I guess my ob means well however I don't think she's using the best judgment overall all things considered . I was thinking maybe I should take it 10 days max and then she should run another urinalysis..

I would raise these concerns with your OB, a 90 day course seems excessive as a preventative measure

I took it late third trimester and up until delivery for bad uti one pregnancy. If you have tried that medication and it didnt fix the uti, ask for something else.

I need some advice!

Me and my boyfriend are expecting our first baby in December, before I became pregnant we were constantly having sex as I have always had a high sex drive but now I am 26 weeks pregnant and we haven’t had sex in about 4/5 months. My boyfriend is very scared about hurting me or the baby so has been avoiding it completely (even head).
I masturbate sometimes when I get really horny but I just want that intimacy back with him.
What can I do?

Help please

My boyfriend doesn’t go down on me! In his defence he didn’t before I was pregnant & still won’t now that I’ve had the baby. I’ve mentioned it before and let him know how it makes me feel and that it bothers me.

He doesn’t have a high sex drive and will happily not have sex for a long time, I’m fresh out of ideas. I’m now 8 weeks postpartum and at a loss for what to do next lol

Struggling with being lonely

Just need to vent

Before having a baby I loved my own company, very much a home bird, I’m not social at all! I was very content with my life I have one friend but we are now in different stages of life and it’s hard.

My baby is almost 5 months and I’ve never felt so lonely in my life, I never thought I would feel this way. Now the visits from family have died down I’m struggling.

I feel so awkward in social situations I have no idea how to make friends at 27 🤷‍♀️ my one friend is from high school.

Just need to get it off my chest, don’t think my husband understands just how hard it is being at home all the time when before all I wanted to do was be at home.
