The best prophylaxis is not to go, when pregnant. So, talk her out of it. And, I mean that.

Where does she want to "visit" anyway? And why? >>

I would agree. It CAN get to the baby and it IS hard to treat. Some of the drugs are pretty nasty in pregnacy, and some of the drugs are nasty anyway.

She only has 9 months to wait. Why go now at all?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
