Pregnancy Info HOME

I was recently on macrobid for what I believed to be a UTI. The culture came back negative for typical bladder infection bacteria, but I had a large count of Strep B cultured. They had me continue the antibiotic course, in hopes of controlling the bacterial count for the Strep B, and even spoke of continuing treatment, should my next culture come back with a high bacterial count. Macrobid must be the antibiotic of choice in pregnant women, and I would wager that it is extremely safe. I have been off of the treatment for about 4 weeks, and go back for a check-up on the 12th. All is well though, and I am sure it is better to treat, than to end up with a kidney infection. I had one of these prior to getting pregnant, as I had an asymptomatic UTI, and I found myself in the hospital hooked up to IV antibiotics and fluids....noone wants this, in particular a pregnant women. Best of luck, and congratulations.
