  1. There are several antibiotics that are approved for use by pregnant women.  If the woman has an infection and needs an antibiotic there are several types that her doctor may prescribe for her.  None of them cause harm to the baby.


  2. If a pregnant woman has a  bacterial infection that needs treatment, then yes, she gets antibiotics.  The risk of leaving the infection untreated is FAR higher than the very small risk of harm from the antibiotic. (The doctor will select an antibiotic with a very low risk profiile.)

  3. Listen to your doctor. It depends on why it is needed and the antibiotic itself. Some illnesses in pregnancy require an antibiotic.

  4. only if prescribed by your doctor he will know what type you can take for what ever reason you need them
