I have had a recurring UTI this entire pregnancy....and the nurse suggested a probiotic.  Dr. Google says that it is ok to take during pregnancy.  Anyone else take one???

    I do! I've been taking one for a few months now. I take Rainbow Light brand ones, only because that is what brand I was using for my prenatals and DHA.

    I have taken one for years after repeated utis. It helps a ton!!!  It is actually recommended that you alternate between probiotics since they can carry vary in strains. Variety is good in this case!

    I do. I am not sure I would ever poop if I didn't.  Much better experience with them on board.

    My doctors are also okay with me taking one.  I personally would just be careful of the media they grow them on (avoid dirt! which is not common,  but is occasionally used to get high numbers of bacteria). I use Doterra, they have a double capsule to get the good bacteria into the small gut. My doctors were also okay with me taking a whole cranberry suppliment. I like Megafood for that one.

    I'm glad to hear they're safe. I've wanted to start taking them to keep my bowels in check/regular. I don't know a lot about them, though.

    I started taking a fiber supplement--Fiber Well--about 1.5 weeks ago, and it has a probiotic.  I made it the first 19 weeks without having regularity problems, but started getting them, so fiber it was.  It seems to really be helping. I was so smug/concerned the first trimester that I was having the... opposite... problem, and then it caught up with me!
