Antibiotics are commonly used and often prescribed in early pregnancy. They are considered safe, however a new study from the University of Montreal in Canada has identified a link between the use of some commonly used antibiotics in early pregnancy, with an increased risk of miscarriage. The findings were recently reported in the Canadian Medical Association Journal and will have an implications on how obstetricians and GPs determine the most suitable treatment options for women requiring antibiotics in early pregnancy. Miscarriage is defined as the spontaneous loss of a foetus before 20 weeks of pregnancy. Miscarriage occurs in around 15 to 20 percent of women who are aware of their pregnancy, and it is most common among women aged 35 or older (according to the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development).
Over half of all miscarriages are caused by abnormalities in the chromosomes of the foetus. Other factors that may raise the risk of miscarriage include diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, obesity, and infection. Study co-author Dr. Anick Bérard, of the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Montreal, notes that antibiotics are widely used during pregnancy to help treat infection, but studies assessing their safety have produced conflicting results. While previous studies have identified a link between antibiotic use in pregnancy and risk of miscarriage, the researchers note that these studies have a number of limitations, such as small samples and recall bias. Dr. Bérard and colleagues sought to address such limitations with their new research. "We aimed to quantify the association between exposure to antibiotics during pregnancy and the risk of spontaneous abortion, taking into account methodologic limitations of previous studies," they explain. The researchers reviewed data from the 1998-2009 Quebec Pregnancy Cohort, which included 8,702 women aged between 15 and 45 years who had experienced a miscarriage at a mean gestational age of 14 weeks. These women were matched to 87,020 controls. Antibiotic exposure in early pregnancy was identified among 1,428 (16.4 percent) women who had a miscarriage and 11,018 (12.6 percent) controls. The researchers found that the use of certain antibiotics in early pregnancy increased the risk of miscarriage by as much as twofold. The use of macrolides - excluding erythromycin - in early pregnancy was associated with increased miscarriage risk, as were quinolones, tetracyclines, sulphonamides, and metronidazole. Nitrofurantoin - an antibiotic commonly used to prevent and treat urinary tract infections - was not linked to a greater miscarriage risk. The team notes that the study sample size, valid data on filled prescriptions for antibiotics, and regularly collected information on miscarriage diagnoses are some of the key study strengths. However, the researchers say that they are unable to rule out the fact that infection severity may have contributed to the miscarriages identified, which is a significant limitation. Still, they believe that their findings question the safety of antibiotic use in early pregnancy. They conclude: "Our findings may be of use to policy-makers to update guidelines for the treatment of infections during pregnancy."

I remember one day I sat down and counted all the men I have met in my life and I felt so small because I know I am not perfect but I give all I can to the man aiming to remain with him but at the end of the day I remained alone. Men could come and go and I couldn't see the money I was working for being paid a good salary but I couldn't prosper when the time came that I failed to put bread on the table. My friend Totty Brobyn advised me to contact Dr Azuka +2349166175418 for a special prayer of cleansing. Dr Azuka advised me that I must do a cleansing prayer to take away all the bad luck and genealogical curse which were following me, we did the prayer online since I was far from him. It took me three days to realize changes in my life. I was promoted at work, my boyfriend also came back to me and proposed to me we have been together for two years now and things are fine. We are preparing for our wedding this December. I know that prayers work and I strongly believe the prayers of [email protected] helped me to regain my happiness thanks, Dr Azuka.

My name is Stefan Doege , I'm from Vegas. it all started when My husband left me for another woman, The most painful thing is that I was pregnant with our second baby. I wanted him back. I did everything within my reach to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so badly because of the love I had for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back, I had no choice than to try it. I messaged the spell caster called dr Paul, and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before 11 hours. He cast the spell and surprisingly 11 hours later my husband called me. I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that had happened He wanted me to return to him. He also said he loved me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again. Thanks to Dr Paul. if you are here and your Lover is turning you down, or your husband moved to another woman, do not cry anymore, contact Dr Paul for help now..

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.

I was really stressed by Acid reflux issues with my newborn and had consulted Chief Dr Lucky. He gave us a thorough consultation and the medicines were equally effective. In a couple of weeks there was big improvement in my son and we are very pleased with the progress. We cannot thank Chief Dr Lucky enough. Highly recommended.

Hello everyone, I am from Wembley, Britain. I want to write this testimony to tell others and thank Dr. Odunga for what he has done for me. The first 12 years of my marriage I had 5 miscarriages and I was called all sorts of names by my mother-in-law and this made my marriage life very hectic and a burden of sorrow. I contacted Dr. Odunga for help and I will say that he is a very strong and honest man and he indeed helped me solve my problem. I saw his email in a testimony and I contacted him, little did I know it would be the end of all my problems. After 2 days of contact, I received a fertility herb and he told me to use it. The herb worked and my husband even loved me more and bought me expensive things. One afternoon, I went to a nearby hospital and came back home with the positive result of my pregnancy and after 9 months I gave birth to a baby boy. Ever since I contacted Dr. Odunga, my story has been different. I have 3 children at present and I am very happy in my marriage. Please, contact him at [email protected] OR Whats App him +2348167159012 to help you too

I cannot identify myself as an "HIV Survivor" because I'm not surviving. I have conquered the battle of HIV/AIDS with natural alternatives. I have broken down the walls of stigma, I have fought against discrimination, I have risen above rejections and criticisms. It has been 12 years of Victory, right after under the supervision of Doctor Muna. If I can find cure, comfort and healing with Doctor Muna's natural herbal products, anyone with chronic disease or viral infections can get cure too.
