Hi there, I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

1. First of all do not panic.

2. Usual deworming agents ddon't have any adverse effects on the baby.
You can very well continue with the treatment. It will not affect your pregnancy in any way. Using deworming agentsin pregnancy is almost safe.

3. As such, it is advisable to take Folic acid, Vitamin B 12 and Omega 3 supplements at least 3 months before you plan to get pregnant. This helps to prevent many problems during pregnancy and delivery.

Please observe good hygiene. Use of Lactic acid vaginal wash daily during bath time will be of help.

I hope this answer helps you. Thanks.
