Brief Answer:
You need deworming with medicines.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
If you have observed worms in your stool then it is best to take a deworming tablet Albendazole 400 mg which is a single dose tablet to be taken at bedtime. It is safe during pregnancy. In case there is a heavy worm infestation then do get your stool examined and get proper medicines prescribed from your gynecologist. Natural remedies alone will not help you much.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Hi Ma'am
Thanks for your reply but I have seen some places where they are asking not to take any medicine during 1st trimester as it will harm to baby.
I am little concern about my baby health so worried.

Brief Answer:
Can be given if the worm itself is likely to cause more harm.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Usually any medicines or antibiotics are not given during early pregnancy but this can be given if there is evidence that the presence of worms itself can cause more harm. You can get the stool tested and get proper medicine prescribed from your gynecologist.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
