Is It Safe To Take Macrobid Tablet During Pregnancy?

I am 23 weeks pregnant. Went to Urgent Care and was prescribed macrobid. I was told it was safe to take while pregnant. I am still hesitant in taking the medicine because of all the googling. I know I shouldn t have done that. I cannot reach my doctor until Monday. Are they safe to take? Thank you
