You need to ask the doctor or pharmacist that. Does your mom know you’re pregnant?

i dont think you really should take medicine during pregnancy because it’s not good for the baby.

Sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim (aka Bactrim) is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that it is not known whether sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim will harm an unborn baby. This medication affects folic acid in your body, which is necessary for the normal development of a baby. Do not take sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant.

Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding:
Bactrim should not be taken during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, notify your doctor immediately. Bactrim does appear in breast milk and could affect a nursing infant. It should not be taken while breastfeeding.

I don’t think its a good idea you shouldn’t really take any kind of medication when your pregnant ask your doctor. or when you go to the hospital for ultra sound??
