Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Urinary tract infection can lead to adverse effects on the fetus like intrauterine growth restriction later in gestation.
Urinary tract infection should be effectively treated with antibiotics.
Amoxicillin is completely safe in pregnancy in first trimester and you should take it as advised.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
