I had a m/c scare today when I started bleeding a little to go with the cramps I had for a few days... went to the ER where they did a bunch of tests & an ultrasound and they found bacteria in my urine. They prescribed me Macrobid. I at first thought I'd just drink a huge amount of water but doc said that a UTI can cause a miscarriage... along with the other symptoms I'm having.
Antibiotics and I just don't really get along, and I'm allergic to a bunch. I've never tried Macrobid. What do you think? Am I risking things if I hold off on it?
I'm not a fan of antibiotics, but Im wont tell anyone not to take them.. lol
I recently had a positive dipstick for leucocytes which are an indicator for infection. To be on the safe side, Im taking garlic, lactodopholis, d-mannose and lots and lotsa water.
If you decided to hold off, Id definately start some type of natural regimine. These things rarely go away by themselves and can cause miscarriage and PTL.

I could have written your post! identical scenerio-same antibiotic described for bladder infection.Dr. said UTI could cause miscarriage..I spoke to midwife-new provider who I will be seeing tommorrow to test Hgh levels etc..she couldn't advise me not to take antibi -I have taken three of four prescibed doses today.It is advised on drug info insert to drink 3-4 " large "glasses of water -that's verbatim or as written.
I notice from your siggy that you are nursing -I looked up med on Kellymom-
it is "safe" for nursing/pregnant mothers-LII -I'm nursing dd-
I know how harrowing this is for me-I'm sorry you are going through this too.
DD & I have been sick all week w/ lil sleep..I'm just trying to stay calm...
I'll be thinking /praying for you as I am for us.
My MW told me to acidify my water with lots of lemon juice as well as drinking cranberry concentrate or taking the cranberry concentrate pills. I took three concentrate pills twice a day and drank over a gallon of lemon water and it started to clear within two days. She told me that if that didn't work to use an acidic flush (vinegar or TTO in water) after every trip to the bathroom. She said that the increased estrogen causes your urinary tract to get out of wack.
I would personally steer clear of antibiotics unless you had tried other things first.
Had a friend who had kidney stones during pg- they gave her macrobid (she's a pharmacist) and she had no problem taking it- babe has been born since perfect. I had a UTI early in my 1st pg- took Keflex with no issues...
