Found this on pregnany today.com:
Amoxicillin is a penicillin antibiotic that is considered safe during pregnancy and while breast-feeding. Completion of the full course of prescribed antibiotics is important to prevent re-infection. You should contact the health provider who prescribed the antibiotic and let them know you are pregnant. As a general rule, it is wise to avoid medication during early pregnancy when the fetus is developing, but it is always important to weigh the risks (minimal in this case) with the benefits (treating an infection which may complicate pregnancy). It is important to remember that antibiotic use alters the normal flora in the vagina, predisposing some women to yeast infections. Try eating yogurt daily and avoiding the use of soap in the vaginal area. Yeast infections can be treated with medication during pregnancy. It is important to discuss the antibiotic use and any concerns about vaginal infections with your obstetric health care provider at your first visit.
