Best probiotics in pregnancy

I am 15 weeks pregnant and taking antibiotics for mastitis (I didn't know you could get it this early!). I am on my 4th antibiotic now as I haven't found one that is helping yet and I am worried about getting a thrush infection in my breasts to make things worse.

I was advised by the pharmacist that taking probiotics can help prevent thrush after taking antibiotics but I've just taken some probiotics and had a nasty stomach upset. The ones I took are probiotic max - high strength (probiotic and prebiotic) but I am going to stop taking them now I've had this reaction.

Does anyone know of better (milder?) probiotics that might help?
Thanks

I took the strawberry flavour ones from Holland & Barrett - can't remember the name sorry!
