I took the same thing at about 8 weeks for uti...it's a safe antibiotic and it's also a low dose they give to pregnant women...however if it doesn't normally work for you I would ask your doctor for something else!

I was given macrobid at 20 weeks for a uti my dr said it was safe to take while pregnant.  Im now almost 32 weeks and baby is fine. Although i think she said yeast infections were common with it I never got one. These sites online may not be the most reputable so I wouldn't listen much. Plus if you dont take meds you could end up with bladder or kidney infection.

Perhaps you can see another doctor for a second opinion or you can ask your doctor for a diffrent perscription.
