Intervention Name(s)
Antibiotic
Intervention Description
Those randomized for treatment will be prescribed the most commonly used antibiotic for urinary tract infections in pregnancy. This includes: Nitrofurantoin, Cephalexin, and Amoxicillin. It is unsure which antibiotic the participant will receive but a majority of the time it will be one of the above named antibiotic. The choice will be determined by the physician, but will accommodate participants' prior medication history and adverse events.
