What a shock! You deserve nothing more than being happy and I know how much you wanted to be a mother! Please take care of yourself and a H&H 9 months to you!
I've actually been told by pharmacists over the past couple of years that most modern antibiotics don't have an effect on BC. I still always worry about it though.
And I've been reminded by Dr.s and pharmacists of the effects it could have (pretty recently).
Ok then. I just don't think it's flameful that Rikki thought antibiotics wouldn't have an effect since apparently some don't anymore, and since I was surprised by that I didn't assume it was common knowledge. I was sharing that info, not trying to correct you when I have no idea what you do or don't know about antibiotics.
Know that when you tell people in real life (and it sounds like you already do know), that their lack of unbridled enthusiasm at first may come from a good place. Having a baby is hard. Having a baby under less than "ideal" (whatever that means) circumstances makes it even harder. It's hard not to worry about the people we care about. Be gentle on the people who love you through this - and hopefully they will offer you the same kindness in return.

I don't even use the pill and the last time I had to take antibiotics it completely messed up my cycle. I understand why they make the warning!

I don't know your backstory at all, but I've read your posts about your new BF. It seems like you are in a much better place now than with your XH, so I would consider this ideal. Planned or unplanned, it's a baby and that is so exciting! Especially since it sounds like you have wanted a baby for a while.
So I say screw all the nay-sayers and enjoy this pregnancy to the fullest.
Take off that flame retardant vest b/c you will not get any flames from me. CONGRATS!!! I am very happy for you. I really believe that everything happens for a reason. You will be a great mom and BF will be a great father. Cheers (it is sparkling apple cider) :drink:
