A Scare

Last week I had a cold but I am better now. My GYN Dr. said it was safe to take anything tylenol, so I took tylenol cold (just a few times because I want to take the least amount of safe meds possible). In addition, I must have gotten viral pink eye because I am better now, I needed to tell you that so you didn't worry with what I write next. I went to my family physician on Tuesday for the pink eye and the Dr. said that it was hopefully viral and he was not going to give me antibiotics because they were harmful to the baby. He said if it leads to bacterial pink eye, to come in, and we would need to decide if I was going to take antibiotics or not. He said if I took them, the baby would be harmed and if I didn't, I could lose my eye! I sat out in my car for 30 mins. crying which I think helped my eye because it is better today. I called Vladi and of course he was upset and then I called Dr. B's office, spoke to a sweet nurse, and cried. She pulled Dr. B out of a room with a patient to talk to me. He said that what my other Dr. said was completely untrue. Big Sigh, what a relief. Dr. B said pregnant women are treated for pink eye all the time and even for worse infections. Thank you Dr. B for curing my scare!
