Having anxiety feel like I am in guilt

I am 35 weeks pregnant and had nitrobact 100 for 7 days unnecessarily for just urine sample contamination and now I am feeling guilty about having it unnecessarily without doing any urine culture or re test. Now I am so worried that it can harm my baby or can have bacteria antibiotics resistant

What ever you did, you did it because you thought it was the right decision at that time. Worrying now will be counter productive. Be positive and if you need further help, fix up an appointment

Breathe Slowly If you are feeling anxious, you are more likely to breathe faster and shallower. Sometimes, the easiest and most important thing we can do to soothe ourselves is to focus on our breathing. Inhale slowly. Count to three as you do it. Focus on each breath. Exhale slowly. Count to three as you do it. 2. Stay In the Present Try the 5-4-3-2-1 technique Focus on five things around you that you can see. A pen, a bottle of water, a spot on the wall - anything. Focus on four things around you that you can touch. Your watch, the coffee mug, the chair you are sitting on - anything. Focus on three things you can hear. Someone speaking on their phone, the TV in the background - any external sound. Focus on two things you can smell - Maybe it’s a charcoal pencil, a hand cream, or leftover coffee in your mug. Focus on one thing you can taste - What does the inside of your mouth taste like? Gum, coffee? 3. Muscle Relaxation When you are anxious, you may feel your body tense up. Find a quiet place. Slowly tense a muscle group. Let’s say you start with your shoulders. Breathe in while you tense your shoulders. Hold the tension for a few seconds. Slowly release the tension and breathe out as you do it. Do this a couple of times before moving on to the next muscle group. What this practice essentially does is it builds awareness of tension in the body and also recognises when the body is completely relaxed. 4. Get Moving Move your body. There is simply no way around it. When you do activities that get your heart rate up, like running, cycling, getting some exercise, or even dancing, it can literally change your brain chemistry.. 5. Small Acts of Bravery If there’s something that makes you anxious, try tackling it in baby steps. For example, if public speaking freaks you out, start by giving a short presentation to a few friends. This can help you build confidence and manage your anxiety when it comes to bigger challenges. 6. Be Kind to Yourself Practicing self-compassion can really help ease your anxiety. Remember, we all deserve to be cared for, and that includes taking care of ourselves. Much love!

Hi, as answered previously. Think about the infection cured by antibiotics and there by benefit to the baby. Consult online for counseling

Hi mam, I empathise with your concern but be assured that the antibiotic you have taken is safe in the amount mentioned and will not harm you, the baby or make you resistant. However the constant feelings of guilt and ruminations about the event can worsen your stress, lead to inflammation and reduce your immunity which in turn makes you prone for diseases. Also pregnancy is a critical and vulnerable period and i suggest you to stop ruminating. Hormonal changes make you prone for depression and hence if your guilt persists i encourage you to attend psychotherapy sessions Thank you

It's understandable to feel anxious about this, but medications prescribed during pregnancy are chosen with your pregnancy in mind. Completing a course your doctor prescribed doesn't mean harm has been done to your baby.
Next Steps
If you're still worried, mention this directly to your obstetrician at your next visit so they can reassure you based on your full case.
Health Tips
Antibiotic resistance develops from repeated, inappropriate use across a population, not from one prescribed course, so please don't carry that worry alone.
