My girlfriends pet dog has acquired worms
- very nice! He has been treated with
tablets, but we don't know how long he has
had them. She is always good with hygiene
but she always pets the dog. My question
is, can worms harm the unborn baby if she
accidentally got them? She is 29 weeks
along and so far doing well. Other than
malnutrition I don't know if they can pass
to the unborn? And also how do you know if
you actually have worms?!! Would it be an
obvious thing all bar what you see when
you go to the bathroom? Should we see the
midwife and ask her advice? We're not
overly worried but I don't want a big fat
worm taking the baby's nutrients (puke!).
Sorry if I have turned your stomachs

speak to your midwife - definately.
and from now on make sure you keep your
dog on a proper worming routine to prevent
this happening.
