Before I knew that I was pregnant I caught topical MRSA and had to use very heavy antibiotics to treat the infection. I later found out that at that time I was about 4-5 weeks along. Does anyone know of any long term defects and/or abnormalities to the baby caused by these types of antibiotics? I am very nervous that something could be wrong because of what I was taking. I spoke with my doctor and she said that because I was so early in the pregnancy that my baby will be fine. However, I thought that the most delicate stage of a pregnancy is during the first trimester. If anyone has any information related to this topic please send me an E-mail to better inform me or hopefully help ease my mind. Thanks so much!

To Emily The Scientist: I’m new at this so I don’t know how to answer your questions that you responded with without being able to E-mail them to you. When you say that my baby is in terrible condition do you mean IF MRSA had become Septic in my body or he is in danger PERIOD because of the fact that I had MRSA during the pregnancy? All I had was an infection on a small area of my skin and after the antibiotics were finished I was cultured and everything came back negative. I never became Septic and according to the doctors the MRSA was "treated and is gone." I have Google’d everything about MRSA antibiotics and pregnancy and every website says something different so I was looking for some personal experiences. Also, the antibiotics that I took were "vancomycin" & "doxycycline". I’m not positive on how to spell those correctly. Also, I was taking vicodin for the pain because they Lanced and packed the area of infection.

I got it two months ago without knowing what it was because I thought it was some formed of dermatitis. It started to spread from one cheek, big red bumps to my left cheeks but now they are just small red pustules like. It used to be itchy and burning. Since being on doxycycline, no longer feel the intense itchy and burn.

Why do women get them especially I am 22 year old and never have any severe acne problem before. Does dust played a part? I cleaned my room entirely and sniffed in a lot of dust and had a rash from a cosmetic products before too.
