I am about to have my 5th child next week more like Thursday or Friday, I also got a prescription for zolfot, but haven't filled it. I was told and have read that you are not suppose to take it during the 3rd trimester. I am wonder that since I will be delivering next week would it be OK to start or do I really need to wait till after I had the baby. I don't want to put the baby in harms way during delivery or after. I can wait to take the meds until after the baby is born. I have lived this long without meds, I can make it another week. Thanks.

This really sounds like a discussion that needs to happen between you and your doc. If you would feel better, wait until after delivery. If you'd be ok with taking it now, do so. The decision is really yours. But once you make the decision, decide as well that you're not going to regret what you've decided and that you're going to move forward courageously. Many times it can take 2wks -1 month for meds to kick in so a few more days of waiting really wouldn't seem to give much of a difference from that aspect of things.
