Good Morning ladies. Sitting here eating a bowl of multigrain Cheerios to start my day. Also, I decided to go ahead and start the stupid Macrobid this morning. I've had it for two days, time to just take it and stop worrying. After all, the midwife wouldn't have prescribed it to me if I wasn't supposed to take it and if it wasn't safe. I just wish the Pharmacist hadn't scared me into wondering if its safe or not for me to take. I pray my baby boy will be healthy and okay after this 😧 I really hate taking medicine with a passion.

@momma_2_batbaby, Yeah, you would think so. I thought it would be since it only directly affects the bladder. But, when I went to pick it up the Pharmacist scared me pretty bad and told me about the third trimester risks associated with it and ever since then Ive been nervous. Wrote my midwife an email about it because she wasnt the prescribing midwife; I had seen her colleague when she was out on her day off. Her nurse wrote back saying, "well, if it wasn' safe, Susan wouldn't have prescribed it to you" which sort of irked me, I felt like she was being insensitive to the situation. But I guess I will just take it. Ovia classifies it as a Cat b drug and so does Web MD so it should be safe.

@excitedmom36, Good Morning to you as well! And yes, I am the same way. I love homeopathic medicine and doing things the all natural way whenever possible. But, when it comes to a UTI, I would really rather not play because I know how quickly kidney infections can happen. I had a UTI when I was pregnant with my second child and didn't know until it was too late, when I had developed a kidney infection. They put me in the hospital for over a week on IV meds. It was prett bad. I was around 27 weeks at that point.

I understand. I pray all is well and I enjoy all natural remedies too. I get severe migraines for over 15 years now but I refuse to take any more meds. They never really helped and I refuse to take meds while pregnant. I think I've taken Tylenol a total of 3 times since I've been pregnant and I hated that.

@excitedmom36, I understand that completely. I get occular migraines, where I see swirls, dots, zig zags and then lose my vision completely and everything fades to black for about 30 minutes. Its terrifying. Of course there are meds, but I would so much rather lay down and close my eyes for 30 minutes and let it pass. Especially when pregnant! I too have only taken one regular strength Tylenol a few times, and I hated doing that also. The only stuff Im ok with taking completely are my prenatals, DHA pills that came with my prenatals, and my ferrous sulfate for my anemia

Even though doctors say certain meds are safe I still rather not. Doctors don't know everything. That's just my opinion. I pray all is well with you though.
