does the passing of living intestinal worm with the faeces during pregnancy signal any problems?

I wouldn't worry about it - as long as it functions at this point.  You can ask your doctor about it at his regular appointments.  But other than that, be happy you have a healthy baby!

Too much can obstuct a persons intestines. Paper is not meant to be eaten. Eating non food items can sometimes be a symptom of a vitamin/mineral deficiancy. She needs to go to the doc.

A pinworm infection is an intestinal infection caused by pinworms. The infection occurs after pinworm eggs are ingested. Pinworm infections are common in young children and are easily treated.\n\nIn females, pinworm infection can spread to the vagina and cause a vaginal discharge.\n\nPinworm infections are also called: seatworm infection, threadworm infection, enterobiasis, and oxyuriasis.\n\nWhat are Pinworms?\n\nPinworms are small, white parasitic worms. They are about 1 centimeter inches long.\n\nPinworms are also called Enterobius Vermicularis.\n\nSymptoms of a Pinworm Infection?\n\nSometimes symptoms are not present. When symptoms are present, the most common symptom is itching around the rectum, disturbed sleep, and irritability.\n\nItching is usually worse at night. Itching is worse at night because the worms are migrating to the area around the rectum to lay their eggs.\n\nIn some cases, the worms can actually be seen in the area around the rectum or in the stool. The worms look like light-colored threads on the move.\n\nHow are people infected with Pinworms?\n\nPeople are infected by unknowingly eating microscopic pinworm eggs. Pinworms lay their eggs in the area around the rectum. The eggs may be transferred to other surfaces by contaminated fingers. Pinworm eggs are able to live on a surface (pajamas, toilets, bed linens, toys, bathroom fixtures, clothing) for 2 to 3 weeks.\n\nHow to Prevent Pinworm Infections?\n\nYou can prevent pinworm infections by washing your hands after using the toilet and before eating.\n\nCan Pinworm Infections be Treated?\n\nYes. Your doctor will prescribe medication that will kill the pinworms. Treatment involves a two-dose course. The second dose should be given 2 weeks after the first. If one member of a household has a pinworm infection, all members of your household will need to be treated with medication.\n\nAre Pinworm Infections Contagious?\n\nYes. Pinworm infections are contagious. Persons become infected by inadvertently eating microscopic pinworm eggs that can be found on many different surfaces, including: bed linens, clothing, food, drinking glasses, eating utensils, toilet seats, bathroom fixtures, toys, and the sand in sandboxes.

So much to say...  There is a good possibility that these worms are not coming from a person using the shower, but live in or around the shower themselves.  Unless you are using your shower as a toilet, intestinal worms shouldn't show up in the shower.  There is a group of insects called drain flies that specialize in shower and sink drains.  They are harmless and should go away if you keep your drains clean.  They look like small dark sort of fuzzy worms with dark head capsules.  The adults are small, light grey with broad wings that end in a point. They are very fuzzy and are sometimes called moth flies.  I think they're cute.  Here's a link to a picture of an adult: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.ento.psu.edu/ImageGallery/HouseMisc/Thumbs/Drain-fly03%2520Psychoda%2520lar117.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.ento.psu.edu/ImageGallery/HouseMisc-2.htm&h=47&w=112&sz=4&tbnid=TMswDgiCpWjSLM:&tbnh=33&tbnw=81&hl=en&ei=ZiSMRPrzHI-SaeODwZMK&sig2=fHNR_-1ZtGtltcYvlFMWFA&start=1&prev=/images%3Fq%3Ddrain%2Bfly%2Blarva*%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26client%3Dsafari%26rls%3Den-us%26sa%3DN

yes.\n\nEverything you injest goes to your fetus.  For that matter, things you absorb through your skin can pass to your fetus, as well as what you breath.

There is no "worse" it's like pregnant either you are or your not.  If you have lice you need to treat them.

tapeworm's don't have eggs. you know how they have all those little segments? when its time to "procreate" they just drop one of those segments. it works through the intestines and comes out through your solid waste then (hopefully) gets picked up again to be consumed in another form thereby infecting another living creature with a tapeworm. \nnow aren't you happy you asked that question?

Wives tale.  Only ingesting the larvae of worms will give you the infection.  The usual method of infection is oral-fecal, meaning you ate something that wasn't washed properly or you didn't wash your hands after touching microscopic amounts of feces with larvae in it.

When it comes to pregnancy I know that most medically prescribed shampoos for treating lice such as Medi-Lice, Pronto, R & C, Tegrin LF caution the obvious. It is harmful if swallowed or inhaled. This medication should be used ONLY when clearly needed during pregnancy. But keep in mind that it is not known whether this drug is excreted into human milk, so you may want to consult your doctor before breast-feeding, if the problem persists then. \nLindane, another topical shampoo is clearly marked to ONLY use when needed during pregnancy but clearly warns against applying the shampoo to others if you are pregnant, unless it is absolutely necessary and you have discussed it with your doctor. Unlike the others, this medication DOES pass into breast milk and may have undesirable effects on a nursing infant. \n\nSo even if you are not using the above marked brands, you can assume a majority of the treatment shampoos contain similar ingredients. My opinion is to consult your physician, but to use only when absolutely necessary.

Most laxatives are safe to use when pregnant, but check with your doctor just to be sure.

Gosh, of course not!!!!  The only thing that you have to be careful of, and this is a very rare thing.  There is a parasite called toxoplasmosis that can be passed through a cats feces.  If you are pregnant, have someone else change the litter box.  Again, this is very very rare.  \nAs far a not getting pregnant because of your cat.....this is myth.
