Abnormal Pap smear

mkasper415

Hi, yesterday I had my 11 week check up and I received a call today that my Pap smear was abnormal and they want to put me on an antibiotic. Evidently I have something called gardnarella.  It can be caused by diet and also wearing gym clothing for too long after working out, great! They also said its very common in pregnant woman.  I'm worried about taking the antibiotic. I need to be on it for a week. They said if I don't take the antibiotic the baby could be worse off. I don't feel comfortable with this. Has anyone had to take an antibiotic in the first trimester? The dr office claims the pros outweigh the negatives, but I am just not sure what to do....

 

Any advice?

Thank you!!
