(c) MRSA Action UK June 2008
Following recent articles in the press we have had an increase in the numbers of people requesting advice on pregnancy, breastfeeding and risks to babies from MRSA.
This is the guidance issued by the Department of Health which contains a small section on MRSA and babies - MRSA in the community
We have found more comprehensive information published by an organisation in the USA called OTIS. We have the permission of OTIS to publish this information sheet here and it may answer some of the questions you have about MRSA if you are pregnant or a nursing mother.
The advice given is well researched, kept up to date and is the best we have found.
This information does not replace qualified medical care, if you think you may have a problem with an infection please seek immediate medical advice from your doctor or midwife.
If you or someone you care about has been affected by a healthcare infection and you wish to discuss this with us, please contact us at info@mrsaactionuk.net
