Is macrobid safe during pregnancy?
I have a UTI and my doctor prescribed Macrobid. I just found out I'm pregnant, very early stages. I'm really worried if Macrobid is safe during pregnancy for the baby.

I panicked so much when I had to take Macrobid for a UTI in my second trimester, but my gynecologist said it is completely safe then. Don't worry, the infection is more dangerous than the medicine.

Yes, it is commonly prescribed for urinary tract infections during pregnancy. Just make sure to finish the full course exactly as your doctor told you.

Ho na, pregnancy mein UTI hona normal hai aur doctor hi Macrobid dete hain. Bas last few weeks mein avoid karte hain, toh gynecologist se discuss kar lena.

I took it during my first pregnancy. It is safe, but make sure to drink plenty of water alongside to clear out the bacteria faster.
