Do not take Combantrin-1 with Mebendazole if you are pregnant or breast feeding unless advised by your doctor.

as I am in Singapore, I am not sure what the pharmacy will or wont supply as they aren't the same as australia.

I am familiar with natural worming products and even they are not safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Having spent over a decade in Sing I know from experience the doctors do have a tendency to over-prescribe some pretty heavy duty medicine.

Garlic suppository. Take one peeled garlic glove and put it up your bum. It's perfectly natural and will kill the worms.

I got worms in my first pregnancy and my obstetrician had no problems with me being wormed.

is there a way to stop getting worms frequently, should I be boiling water before drinking it? Whats the go?

Oh crap. I took some while preg, 1st trimester. Now 37 weeks. I had no idea it was so bad. Can anyone tell me what are the risks? What on earth have I done to my baby!!!

I could be wrong but I am sure I read that you should not take anything for worms when pg. Something about the cycle will just break itself and die out within 6 weeks with good hygiene and handwashing.
Wouldn't be a very comfortable 6 weeks however. I would definately check with your doctor before taking anything.

But will give you garlic breath. Amazing but true.

Although commonly associated with young children because of their close social interaction and inattention to personal hygiene, threadworms are very contagious and adults are just as susceptible to a rapid transfer of the infection. Threadworm infestations can quickly be spread through family groups or any collection of people, including day-care centres, schools and camps. This is why it is a good idea to treat all the members of the family if one member becomes infected with threadworms.

Contrary to popular belief, the threadworm only infects humans. Animals are only vulnerable to a distantly related species of this worm, one that does not infect humans. Household pets like cats and dogs are not part of the threadworm life cycle but they can be carriers if the eggs of the threadworm are transferred into their fur and hair.

There are two main ways that you can catch threadworm. The first is by direct contact with an infected person. The second is by coming into contact with an object or surface that has become contaminated through contact with an infected person. This could be anywhere, from a toilet seat, bedding, toys, kitchen bench, clothing, door handles, food or furniture. The eggs can even survive in swimming pools. Contracting threadworm is not something that is connected with a lack of personal hygiene but is an everyday hazard of communal living. Once the eggs lose their stickiness, catching threadworm can be as easy as breathing in the airborne eggs contained in household dust. The eggs can survive in external environments for about two to three weeks. Poor hygiene, however, can contribute to the spread of threadworm once you have contracted it. Threadworm eggs become infective within hour of being laid. The small eggs are quite difficult to see with the naked eye and stick to anything that they come into contact with. Invariably, the infected person's hands become contaminated with the eggs and they become widely dispersed

The worms the OP is talking about are Thread worms (just for anyone who is reading and hasn't yet encountered them.

Here is a bit about how you catch them (please note you do not catch them from animals.

Really?? I was sure I caught them off our dog.

Unsure how we got them, but I am forcing my children to wash their hands with soap EVERYWHERE lol! I have read good hygeine and regular washing can also help break them.
