It's been a bit of a hectic day! I had a suspect UTI a couple of weeks ago but GP wouldn't give me anything as said sample showed raised white cells but didn't develop in the lab.
I've started to get a discharge again and on/off pains in my lower abdomen and lower right hand side. So went back to GP today and they did another dip test on urine and it showed bacteria on result. They are sending it off but in the meantime the GP wants me to take antibiotics.
Went to get prescription and Pharmacist said that I had been given an incorrect antibiotic and wasn't happy to issue it. She then spent 1.5hrs on phone to NHS 24 and the local maternity ward to try and get a new prescription for me. A doctor from the mat ward was okay to do this and I now have Trimethoprim 200mg to take.
I am at 21 weeks and no other real concerns. I just feel very, very scared now as the original prescription could have caused birth defects. Is the antibiotic I have been prescribed okay? Is it correct to take before lab results come back. Please if anyone out there has a medical background or knows about this antibiotic but a stressed out mum to be out of here worry! :)
