Is It Safe To Take Flagyl During Pregnancy?

Hi I'm 9 weeks pregnant and three days. I went to the hospital yesterday for bleeding and the doctor told me I had trichomoniasis and prescribed flagyl I'm not sure if it's safe to take. Also he saw blood at the bottom of the placenta but he said there was no harm and should clear up on its own. Baby heart rate was 176 beats per minute. This is my first pregnancy I'm very scared. Just need answers, I won't be able to see my obgyn til next week.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I have gone through your question and understands the concerns.
Flagyl is a pregnancy category B drug, which means that it can be taken when indicated, without minimal risk to the fetus.
The small subchorionic hemorrhage in the ultrasound will most likely resolve on its own in few weeks.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
