Please doctor help me to be assure
Since I have completed my 7 days nitrofurantoin nitrobact 100 course 2 times a day unnecessarily due to lab report error I feel very guilty everytime I thought about it. It was prescribed me when I was 34 weeks 2 days pregnant and now I am 37 weeks pregnant. Hope it will not cause any harm to my baby. Anything like anaemia or cause any antibiotics resistant in future?

Nitrofurantoin is safe in pregnancy.

You don't need to carry this guilt. A short antibiotic course like this, taken correctly this late in pregnancy, is very unlikely to harm your baby or cause anaemia.
Next Steps
Mention this to your obstetrician at your next visit so it's noted in your file, though no extra tests are needed just for this.
Health Tips
One course like this won't meaningfully raise antibiotic resistance risk for you or your baby.
