Can Macrobid Be Taken During Pregnancy?

Hi, my name is Olga. I am 13 weeks of pregnancy. Got Enterococcus faecalis 10,000-50,000. my OB prescribed macrobid 100mg bid for 10 days. i am wondering if I really need to take anb? I read a lot of forums on Russian medical sites. They treat this bacteria not all the time w/antibiotic, moreover Macrobid just recommended for second trimester. I need second opinion. Because here is just one way - DOCTOR prescribe ANTIBIOTOC, no any vaginal antiseptic suppository or something else
