please respond

ok, so i was just reading someones post and it worried me..

When i was in the hospital the other( for being sick) the doctor told me i also had a UTI.. He gave me macrobid.. I was too freaked out to take it. (even though he said its ok to take while pregnant) I feel fine.. I dont have anymore symptoms. Someone had said that it can cause a mc in early pregnancy. I am 11 weeks. what do you guys think?? should i go get it filled?

What does a UTI feel like anyway?

I know what you mean!  I have had two SEVERE colds in a row that I suffered through.  I am almost in my third trimester.  My concerns were not miscarriage, but more of what my baby will feel from taking the medication that makes mommy drowsy and makes mommy feel loopy, I didn't want my baby to feel that way.  

You are still in your first trimester, and that is a crucial time for development of your baby.  I can understand what you are feeling.  However, a UTI can cause a miscarriage, like JoyRenee said it can spread to your kidneys.  I would recommend that you fill the prescription and take the meds.  

Do you have a cold?  Or are you just feeling the typical pregnancy woosies?

What are you asking?  If the Medication will cause a miscarriage or an untreated UTI?  

Personally, I would be far more concerned about treating the UTI.  If your doc prescribed the medication I would take it, and not think twice.  UTI's are dangerous in pregnancy.
