Antibiotics in early stage of pregnancy

Hi, I'm preggers with my 3rb baba and after my blood test results being positive my doc sent off my wee for testing. Counting by last period I'm  nearly 7 weeks and have my dating scan today late arvo. Anyways, my wee results came back with bladder infection which I think is UTI? I got given antibiotics which is Cefalexin Sandoz 500 MG to take 4 times a day. Is it safe? I'm worried. Never had to   take anything during both my pregnancies with both my boys.

Thanks ladies. I was just unsure as I have never had to take anything while pregnant and usually results are all positive. Thanks again for the peace of mind.

I had an incredibly severe uti/bladder infection and I lost my baby at 6 weeks. But I know they're so common  in pregnant women. I'm sure they wouldn't  give them to you if they weren't safe to take so no worries :)

Hi I have a bad history with bladder infections and would recommend to take antibiotics. The bacteria can cause more damage to u and your baby later on then the antibiotics. I'm 11 wks and have to get checked every month for UTI's
