I took it with my last pregnancy. If your ob prescribes you something then that means the benefits outweigh the risks. Take your meds bc either way not taking them could cause whatever infection you have to send you into labor and harm your baby!

I took it less than a month ago but I had a strong dose since I was already 36 weeks & my doctor didn't want me to have a uti if I were to go into labor. My baby is fine I've had Dr appointments to make sure everything is okay

I took it and me and the baby are fine. If your doctor prescribed it ...then you have no worries I don't think your ob will prescribe you something that'll harm your baby

I was prescribed it at about 4 months. All the paperwork said it was fine. Cleared up the BV and everything seems to be fine.

If it was prescribed by your doctor then it will not effect the baby hun . . . Just take it as regularly as you are directed to & you'll be fine .

I got put on this last night and the pharmacy person said they don't recommend it for pregnant women.. so I didn't take it because the doc said he sees a slight sign of a bacterial infection

I took it when I was less than 3 months. My doctor prescribed it. I also went to the e.r and one of the doctors there gave it to me. But my new gynecologist told me to not take it. So I would suggest getting it prescribed from your gynecologist.
