Im not a real help, but I'd be off to the chemist. Theres lots of different one off pills for worming, and surely one of them would be safe to use during pregnancy

ETA: Forgot to add, that if you have them, I'd be worming the whole house hold. The chemist will be able to help you out with what to get

Combantrin definately gets rid of them, but i just had a look on the box and it says to consult a doctor before use when your pregnant. A pharmacist should be able to advise you as well.

You poor thing. Hope it clears up soon.

we all had them last week...not much fun hey. Once you treat them they are gond in about a day tho

No idea what is safe when preg tho, there would have to be something tho. There is stuff to treat little bubs so there would definatly be something that you can use. Just make sure you treat everyone in the house, and I was advised to re-treat after about 2 weeks...and the stuff isn't all that cheap when you are treating alot of people.

Good luck, hope you find something you can take.

I don't know about it being normal to get worms when preg, but they do seem to be more common at this time of year.
There was a thread earlier today started by someone else who is preg and has them...no definate answers in that thread either tho I'm afraid.
