...I am 36 weeks this week and had a urine culture done due to abdominal pain.
Found out (by chance!) yesterday at my ante natal appointment that I have a water infection.
The doctor precribed me an antibiotic called nitrofurantoin - I am allergic to penecillin and there are some others I cant take either - so am very wary of meds I havent had before.
Anyway, just looked it up on the internet and it stated that it should not be given to women in the 3rd trimester as it can cause something called foetal heamolysis (sp?)
So, Should I call the doctor and ask for a different med? Am VERY confused.
