I just came home from a trip to africa, and upon arrival I found out that I am about two months pregnant. For about one month of this time I was taking doxycycline as a prophilacis, but it started to make me too sick, so I stopped taking it. I guess that was a bad move, and a week later I came down with a very bad case of malaria, where the doctors thought I was going to die. I was at the time unsure if I was pregnant of not, but was told by a midwife that even if I had been pregnant, there was no way that the baby could survive what I went through and I would miscarry. So somehow, though, after recovering and returning home, I am still pregnant. As of this moment I am still trying to decide to keep the child or have an abortion. My big worries are that the doxycicline had a big warning on the label that pregnant women should not take it, and I also think I recall from somewhere that malaria harms the fetus. Does anyone know about the effects of the drugs or severe malaria on the fetus? Do you think that the baby will be ok, or should I not take a chance and wait for another pregnancy to have a child? Thanks for your help in advance.
