Does anybody know if its safe to use Monistat 7
While 4 months pregnant?

You need antibiotics for a uti. Call your Dr they should work you in soon to treat it.

I've had two uti while pregnant and I called each time a vs talked to my doctor they got me in right away to treat them.

In first trimester that is the only thing you can use

I'm a little confused by your question...You have a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection), yet you want to use Monistat 7?  Monistat is for yeast infections, where the bacteria/yeast balance in the vagina has become diarupted and yeast has overgrown.  If you have a UTI, that is a bacterial overgrowth in your urethra/bladder.  Sometimes after treating a UTI with antibiotics, it can sometimes overkill the good bacteria and then cause a Yeast infection, and thus later warrant a need for Monistat.  But you said you are not yet on antibiotics at all (not sold over the counter in the USA).  The Monistat won't help cure a UTI, at all, if that was your intention of using it until you can see a doc about your UTI.  Don't let your UTI go untreated for very long, it can migrate quickly up your ureters and into your kidneys, causing a horrible kidney infection called Pyelonephritis, which can be extremely harmful to you and your baby.  I had it at 32 weeks with my 2nd pregnancy....it was awful.  So I highly recommend getting on antibiotics for that UTI as soon as possible, and save the Monistat for yeast infections.
