Are you sure you are on antibiotics for thrush? Thrush is yeast...It's the same thing as a vaginal yeast infection except in you mouth. Antibiotics is usually why you get a yeast infection...because it kills the bacteria. Seems more likely you are on medicine for yeast like diflucan. It's hard to answer the question completely since you have not listed the medicine. Some are OK and some are not.
Whatever medicine you are taking you can call the pharmacist and ask them what FDA Pregnancy Category the medicine is in. A = very safe, B = rather safe, C = inadequate testing to be certain...use as needed and with caution, D = not safe, E = very unsafe. You can feel confident using categories A-C.

i would call the doctor ho gave you the medicine and talk to him about it. tell him that you think you are pregnant and see what he says about it. i have never had thrush so i don't know if you should stop taking it or not.

I would treat it the same way it was treated last time you were pregnant and had it! Also, you can always call your doc.

call your doctor's office and ask them, even w/o an appointment they can tell you if the antibiotics will hurt your child.

Call your doctor and talk to a nurse. You should be fine, but call NOW.

You should call your OBGYN office, they could have an advise nurse or someone you could ask, you could also try your pharmacist. Congratulations!!
