UTI and Yeast Infection

I was having pains in my left hip area, i went to the doctor, had tounder go urine test and found I have UTI... I was given Cefalexin Exel for treatment 3x a day for 7 days.

im a bit worried, cause that's antibiotic, right? Isn't it harmful for my pregnancy? Im 21 weeks pregnant with my first baby. Plus, it causes yeast infection, right?

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks...

Oh, i hope it would turn out ok with you and your baby. I'm a bit scared as this is my first "non-hmo" baby, so i consider it my first and im really concerned.
