Is it true ? Antibiotic macrobid bad?

Question

I am terrified almost in tears!!!! I need some advice and personal experiences shared plz! I have been diagnosed with a UTI and prescribed macrobid! I have been doing some research and I found that it causes birth defects! The doctor told me it didn't cause any birth defects to take it! I am 17 weeks pregnant! I feel stressed!

Answer

I took it my last pregnancy two or three times. Your ob wouldn't prescribe you something that wasn't safe plus sadly when baby's are born with birth defects there's a need to find something to blame it on. It's impossible to say what caused them over a course of 9 months of pregnancy. I was only told not to take them in the third trimester or while breastfeeding anytime before that was fine. My daughter is beautiful and healthy!

Answer

I've never used it, but I do know there's a lot of medications that before 12 weeks can cause birth defects. But in the second trimester they are safe.

Answer

Look up home remedies one is putting a garlic clove covered in cotton tied with floss in there. Also colloidal silver is an amazing antibiotic but that you may just have to let sit under your tongue.

Answer

I also took macrobid twice during my first pregnancy and my son is perfectly happy and healthy :) he is almost two now! Hope that makes you feel better!
