DItto to C Twisdale's response. Antibiotics must be taken as prescribed, until they are all gone to ensure that the bacteria is completely taken care of. If they are not taken until all gone you take the risk of the bacteria becoming resistant to the drug.... not a good thing. The antibiotic that your doctor has prescribed you is safe for you and the baby, otherwise he/she would have not chosen that drug. The fact that you are feeling better means that the drug is working. Let it work COMPLETELY.
