I recommend to ask the doctor to change the prescription to Cipro or Bactrim (unless she is allergic to sulfa) first thing tomorrow morning. Those are lower risk than Macrobid.
In the future, use this database to look up whether a medication is okay to take. This is the database the professionals use.

You might want to read the FDA link I just posted. Cipro isn’t a drug you want to take unless you absolutely have to.

I understand nurse's concern about cipro. I saw a sudden cipro backtrack warning a few years ago. I asked an MD and he blew the warning off. Cipro is not the best for UTI's but it'll do in a pinch of which I have been in.
This entire thing could go so many ways. I have very good reasons for always second guessing docs and PA's and trusting a pharmacist in this situation...
As a mom who breastfed all of my kids, I would not want to break in the breastfeeding- yet, a UTI could lead to a kidney infection and worse. The OP should call the doctor on call and not listen to 25 pages of opinions in so many variables.
