Ten weeks of treatment in utero... Lyme

[nervousmummy]

Hi guys

I caught lyme at 11 weeks pregnant but didn't know ND then found out at 30 weeks about the Lyme and then took 1500mg amoxicillin from then on and have birth at 40 weeks.

 

I know lyme can be transmitted and acute infection is more likely... I just wondered if ten weeks of treatment may have been enough on prevent and or treat lyme if it has passed to him .

 

My doc says the baby would have been very small at this stage mate 3 or 4 pound and that te amoxicillin would have passed the placenta and help get rid of Lyme if it hd passed .

 

I am still in treatment

 

He seems so healthy ND happy but I always worry that he might have lyme and I'm not resig the signs or something

 

What do guys think? Maybe I caught it in the buck of time ? Maybe ten weeks is a good amount in utero? Xxx

think of it this way, you are lucky. there is a good chance that your kid will not born with lyme. and if he/she is, you'll know to treat early.
