Hey everyone.. U mite know I have a bladder infection from the other post. .Well my ob doc gave me antibiotics to cure it. I take them for a week. Their called macrobid 100 capsules. Anyhow, my sister just called me and told me that her friends mom took some bladder infection antibiotics while pregnant and it made the baby's heartbeat slow down so much she miscarried ar 6 months?!?!?! Im scared now! I mean I think he wouldve told me if there was a risk??? Im going to go research on the net on it right now tho but what do u think?

Hey

I don't want to scare you, but, my sis-in-law got a "bladder infection" they, gave her meds..... She miscarried. I would talk to another doc. I'm sure those perticular pills are fine.... But check them out. Talk to a few people.
Love,
chanda

Hmm.. Well I did some research and it says its a very tolerable antibiotic and its only for 7 day use. .The babys moved a ton today so I dont think his heart rate is down although this is only my 2nd day usage. I mean I could ask another doc but not till monday.. Plus, this is my ob doctor. He said if u keep a bladder infection and dont treat it it will move to ur kidneys and cause a bad infection which could hurt the baby. .So I mean I cant leave it untrreated....~confused~

Thats what I took. I dont think it will harm the baby or the doctor wouldnt give it to you.

I hope not* I was goin to try herbal stuff but he said the bladder infection looked pretty bad (even tho I didnt feel it) and he said we couldnt wait or it would infect my kidneys fast.
