I did at 34wks for 7 days. They suspected a uti and because they considered me in threatened preterm labour they started me on them as a precaution. I didn't end up having a uti but I finished the course of antibiotics anyway just in case. Untreated uti's can lead to preterm labour. They're safe in pregnancy. I'm now 38 weeks and baby is perfectly fine :)
