UTI in pregnancy: Don't take norfloxacin. Nitrofurantoin is safe in pregnancy if u are not allergic to it.

UTI and pregnancy : It's important to treat urine infection in pregnancy. Nitrofurantoin or amoxicillin are preferred drugs as they are safe for baby . Norfloxacin is category C drug and is not preferred unless there's no other choice and risk of not prescribing is way more than side affects.
