UTI during third trimester

I had a UTI too and I was really nervous about taking the macrobid because my doctor told me I had a UTI through my portal and placed the order for this medication without really explaining much. I called and scheduled an appointment with a nurse who explained it was normal to get UTIs and that the macrobid was safe to take. I did end up taking it because I got reassured after having that appointment with the nurse and after also doing research on my own. Also I did decide to take it because I didn't want the UTI to become worse and cause harm to my baby. I didn't have any issues taking it and it was gone in a few days after taking the medication. Hope this helps ❣️

i currently have BV which is not the same thing but you’re not alone in having a vaginal infection during pregnancy. it’s the worst!

Your insurance plan should have a 24 hour nurse advice line. If you want more information about what you are taking and to get it better explained you can ask them about it! I did that a lot during my pregnancy and with my son now for when he had his first cold and first stomach virus. Also when he was born he had high bilirubin level/jaundice and that’s who encouraged me to take him to a children hospital to get photo light therapy. :) hope this helps

There are good home remedies you can try also. UTI cilantro leaf tea and D-mannose can be very helpful. I’d also take a high quality gut biome supplement….
