Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic used to treat various types of infections, most commonly UTIs.
As to its use during pregnancy, while no studies have been done, many women have used it safely, with no reported ill effects.
The time span that it actually shouldn't be used is when you are very close to delivery, around the 38th week, because it can interfere with the immature enzyme systems in the red blood cells of a newborn and cause anemia.
If you are worried, then yes, by all means contact your doctor to discuss it.
