Has anyone else taken cephalexin while pregnant, I'm nervous about it?
I took it all my pregnbnothing happened. Every pill in the world has bad side effects. Dont be scared it won't hurt you or baby
Just take it, better safe than sorry
It can cause kidney problems then sepsis if untreated
The issue is kidney problems now. I'm just so hesitant about meds and I've already had zofran and reglan this pregnancy. I'm freaking out 😭
I was prescribed it for a UTI during my last pregnancy
I was just on it for a UTI. I didn’t experience any bad side effects, but things like nausea and constipation vary depending on the individual.
@alanasopretty, side effects to medicines vary so much based on an individual. And you’re not going to have online forums filled with people with positive experiences, people don’t take the time to write positive reviews in most cases. I don’t think I’m lucky, I just fall in a different side effects bucket.
I will say I made sure to be extra hydrated and I ate full meals before each pill. If you’re already having kidney problems, don’t delay taking an antibiotic. Kidney infections can get serious quickly. It’s better to take the antibiotic you’re prescribed now and if you experience negative/unbearable side effects, talk to your doctor and pharmacist about alternatives.
