hi everyone...i just found out that im 6 weeks pregnant and just before i found out i was pregnant, i had kidney infection which i was on antibiotic for 3 days then stopped coz i found out i was pregnant....the pain in my kidney went away so i figured the kidney infection had cleared...
now im scared that i may still have an infection coz ive got a very slight pain in that kidney area...but i dont wanna take antibiotics coz it can harm the baby...i know the doctor can give me one that wont harm the baby

but i find it hard to believe...

If you have an infection it needs to be cleared up!  That is why they say to take the antibiotics for the full length of the prescription.  Are you sure the antibiotic you currently have is bad for the baby or are you just going on the thought that nothing should be taken during the first trimester?  Call the pharmacist to really confirm that you can't take it and then try to get in touch with your doctor.  Good luck!  Hope you feel better!

You havent made an appointment yet? If not you need to call your doc that prescribed you the anibiotics and let them know your pregnant and they'll let you know what to do
