Hi there, it depends on the antibiotics. Some are considered safe to take throughout pregnancy while others can pose a risk to the developing fetus. Penicillin, amoxicillin, ampicillin etc are considered safe, check with your doctor first and please never self medicate, good luck |

First consult with your doctor as none is entirely safe, particularly during the first trimester. Your doctor will determine if the benefits you may get from the drugs outweigh any potential adverse effects they could have on you or the pregnancy, especially within the first 3 months of the pregnancy. Generally, antibiotics intake do not affect your menstrual cycle. But again, do not take antibiotics without prescription as that could encourage development of resistance if taken when not indicated, or taken in incorrect dosages, or for incorrect duration. |
