Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 As a healthcare worker I am required to get a yearly mantoux. I am nursing my 14 month old and concerned how safe receiving this would be. This is considered a pregnancy category C for pregnant woman. Any thoughts?

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Sheri, I guess there is nothing you can do if you already got one while pregnant? My daughter got one on her first prenatal visit last month and thought it was alright as it was just a test they told her. The ob/gyn is the one who had her take it..I guess that is their routine. I was very upset. But I guess there is nothing to do about it now except hope for the best. I had no idea they were going to even bring that up or I would have told her not to do it. She is also thinking of having a repeat c-section (I think it was their fault she had the first one, but that is another story) since they scared her and her husband with the ½% chance of having an uterine rupture. A repeat c-section in their mind is a safer option...grrh. from Missouri Re: mantoux At 06:24 AM 2/12/2008 -0000, you wrote: >As a healthcare worker I am required to get a yearly mantoux.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Regarding repeat c-sections....after my first c-section I too was concerned about uterine rupture. BUT, after I read an account of a lady who was 36 weeks pregnant with her first child having a spontaneous uterine rupture (without even being in labor) I came to the conclusion that a woman's uterus is literally in God's hands. You can do all you can do to be healthy, but, beyond that it's out of your control. Personally, I'd stop worring and find a doctor who would be supportive of vbac! ~ > >As a healthcare worker I am required to get a yearly mantoux.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 My first two were c-sections (2nd was not going to be, but ended up breech), second two were vaginal. It can work out just fine, but it's individual. My doc told me, sure things can go wrong but that's what I'm here for--emergencies.

My work place stated that a blood test would not be accepted because the facility would not pay for it. They said I could just do a screen risk form if I got a note from my OB or pediatrician that said I shouldn't have the skin test. I don't know if they would accept the blood test if I paid for it in the future because after reading the info on this, I don't want it even if I wasn't pregnant or nursing.
