UTI: During pregnancy you want to be sure that the antibiotic used will not hurt the fetus. Stay away from tetracyclines and fluorinated quinolones. Best would be either an oral penicillin derivative (amoxicillin, etc.) or an oral cephalosporin, but Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) or septra (trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole) is probably ok although in fda category c, meaning do not use unless benefits outweigh risks.
