Doc gave me this for a UTI and im 7 weeks pregnant, the name nitrofurantoin sounded scary so i googled and got more tension. Has anyone taken this during pregnancy? i'll obviously confirm with my gynac but just wanted to hear from others.
Honestly, self-medicating is a big no in pregnancy, especially with antibiotics. My doctor prescribed me this for a urine infection, but the dosage depends on your trimester. Just call your gynac's clinic to confirm if you can take it.
I have been dealing with some burning urination too, so I am really curious about this. Did your doctor suggest this medicine to you, or are you just asking? Let me know what your gynac says!
I remember getting a mild infection and wanting to just drink water and do my pregnancy yoga to clear it, but my gynac said antibiotics are necessary. She prescribed me this, but please let your doctor decide if it's safe for your current week.
I got a terrible UTI in my second trimester and felt so scared when the doctor prescribed this. But my gynac assured me it was safe for the baby, and honestly, the relief was huge. Please don't take it without asking your doctor first though.
Hey dear, nitrofurantoin is quite commonly prescribed for UTIs during pregnancy, but its safety actually depends on which trimester you are in. Don't take any old pills lying around. Just drop a message to your doctor and they will tell u the correct dose.
