Can Clindesse 2% hurt my baby in third Trimester??

August 11, 2008

Hi, I'm 31 wks prg. and last friday I went to my normal app. with my ob-gyn I told her I had had some cramps the night before, and also low back pain for around 1 hour... I also had a little bit more of vaginal discharge than usual... She examined me in 1 second and said I had some infection and she gave me this med. Clindesse 2% vaginal cream... so I went and bought it (friday night) (Now I regret not reading about it first) and I just went ahead and used it that night...... then on saturday my baby was moving ok, not as much as before but not so quiet either, so I didn't think about it, but yesterday (sunday) my baby almost didn't move at all, only 3 times in all day and I'm talking about 1 small movement every time, I ate, I had cold water, I moved my belly, I put her music, I did some excercice so that my heartbeat could get higher and this ussually makes her move, but yesterday nothing worked at all....

Anyway, Im using this babyplus and usually when my baby hears the noise, she starts moving, but yesterday, nothing worked... I was all worried if the Clindesse could do something to my baby... Today she has been moving almost normal again, but not as much as before either, so, should I be worried??? should I go to the dr. today?? does any of you know if this med. can cause this decrease in fetal movement or some damage to my baby??

I have been reading about it but haven't find any good answer... Please help me if you know something about this!!!

Thank you in advance...

Hello,

I used baby plus as well. I do not know of any association between Clindesse and decreased fetal movement. Any decreased fetal movement is concerning and I would report this to your OB as soon as possible.

Thank you for your response I really appreciate it... I just talked to an other of my Doctors and he also told me that clindesse would not hurt my baby... I told him about the decreased fetal movement yesterday and he said that if she is moving fine today then it's fine, I hope this is true..

About the baby plus, is good that you mention it too, somedays I'm concerned about if it's ok to use it or not, sometimes the baby seems to don't like it, she kicks really hard until it stops, but sometimes I think she is asleep when I use it and everything is fine... Did it worked fine for your baby??
