>From a non-professional standpoint, I can't speak for the class of the
drug you've been prescribed, but if I were you, I'd trust that your OB wouldn't have prescribed something that would be contraindicated in pregnancy. A UTI during pregnancy is nothing to mess with because if it gets bad enough, it can lead to preterm labor. If you're overly concerned, talk to your OB about the drug in question to put your mind at ease and do what you need to do to get over the infection.

Good luck to you...I know how scary it can be taking any meds during pregnancy, but at some point, you have to let go and trust your doctor that s/he has your best interest at heart.
