Prescription for UTI?

For those of you who have had a UTI during pregnancy, what did the doctor prescribe for an antibiotic? TIA

Re: Prescription for UTI?

  • mine prescribed Macrobid 100mg twice a day for 10 days.  I looked it up and it was a pregnancy class B drug, but so is Acetaminophen and people take that all the time, so I figured it was safe... it did make me waaay more nauseous than I have ever been in the pregnancy. 
  • I haven't but most likely they'll prescribe Macrobid.

  • I had macrobid too.  I second the nausea.  It made me even more tired and sick!  Make sure to take with food. 
  • I was also prescribed Macrobid twice a day for 7 days.  I heard that it's safe to take in the first and second trimester, but not so much the third.  It is much better for the baby to have you take the antibiotics than to leave the UTI untreated!
