me and my partner are trying to gure out if it is safe for me to get pregnant since i have mrsa. can someone please tell me the riskes on my end and the babies as well. will the baby get it since it is the mrsa that is in my blood? really scared to go thru with it till i find out more info

Hello, I probably dont have muc advice to give but i thought i would reply because i hate it when no one does!

So you actually had mrsa enter your bloodstream - not just a skin/wound infection?

If it is in the blood and you keep getting re occurences of it then it may well reach the foetus - but im fairly sure it does go away if it is treated correctly and no more occurences of it happen (showing treatment was successful). If you do have it forever i guess there is a posibility that it may enter the babies bloodstream via the placenta - but seeing as many diseases/infections dont (such as HIV - if all the precautions are taken) you would have thought that would be a general thing! But to be honest i only know about mrsa and am speculating the rest in relation to effects on the foetus.

I think to really get the advice you need - you should speak to your doctor and see if they even know! There doesnt seem to be much information on the subject unfortunately.

Hope all works out for you :)
