Go to a health food store and get no sugar added cranberry juice.
The organs are pretty much done forming by the end of the 1st trimester.

I don’t even take Tylenol or tums I’m so strict about medication so needless to say I’ve been bawling all day from pain and anxiety. Have any of you had UTIs? Did you get such a high dose without the culture results? I took one a few hours ago and I feel better I don’t have that pressure and pain. But of course I’m now spotting and waiting for doctor to call me back.
Share your UTI and antibiotics safe use healthy babies stories with me. And how can I not get these? I haven’t had sex in a long time I wipe right I drink water what happened?
A UTI can get very serious. Take the antibiotic and act like you are an adult not an Adult idiot!
OP - I am taking it I could bear through the painI have to take it. But doesn’t mean I don’t have a panic attack every time I pull out the pill bottle and wonder if I’m harming my baby a mom can always worry right?
Stop worrying. Calm down. Take the meds.

OP - ha I get that and god I wish I could take every medicine under the sun (and with my first I took epidural and everything they offered) but I don’t think this statement goes for pregnancy, because there is “extra credit” for not having to take class b or lower drugs that could impact baby

“How will a UTI affect my baby?
If the UTI goes untreated, it may lead to a kidney infection. Kidney infections may cause early labor and low birth weight. If your doctor treats a urinary tract infection early and properly, the UTI will not cause harm to your baby.”

You’re also putting your baby at risk not taking them as prescribed. Untreated UTI can turn into full blown kidney infections. Why would you wait to take after starting this thread yesterday?????

OP - it was the resident who said that’s what the doctor recommended (I was in pain and alone so didn’t ask further or look at the info on the label), I called the nurse line and she said it sounds reasonable but she can’t know since it was the resident. I guess I’m trying to find every excuse to not take it but the discomfort and that sensation is still there. I only have an appointment on Wednesday afternoon bc that’s when my urine culture results come in, front desk said no other availabilities before that. Maybe I should call again tomorrow to talk to a doctor? I’m in a small town it’s a small 3 doctor practice.
How long did you take yours for and what was your dosage?
