I am 37 and a half weeks pregnant with a very bad abscess tooth. Im face and jaw is completely swollen and I can barely open my mouth. I am currently taking amoxocillin and regular strength tylenol every 6 hours. This has been going on for 3 days so far.
I am unable to eat any solid foods, so I have been living off ensure and breakfast to go shakes, is this okay for my baby?
My doctor is out of town for 3 more days and I cant ask her.
He is moving around like a crazy person in there, perhaps because he has more room with nothing being in my stomach and my braxton hicks contractions have intensified ALOT.
Anyways, just wondering if the nutrients from the shakes are enough to keep him healthy until I can open my mouth and eat again.
