U will be fine..the doctor would not put you on anything unless it was ok for your child..Class b medications are in the same group as tylenol and tylenol is the number one used med in pregnancy...dont worry,your baby is ok..good luck!

Not an issue. When I was 3 months pregnant I had strep throat, and at 4 1/2 months I had a bad sinus infection. They gave me zithromax, which I'd had prior to pregnancy, and it made me sick as a dog. So after that they gave me another antibiotic. So I was on them 3 times in less than 2 months.

They do give antibiotics to infants, so you should be okay. If you're worried, call your OB or a local pediatrician - they'll be able to tell you. (They have access to a book called "Medications and Mother's Milk" which lists just about every drug under the sun and what the AAP - American Academy of Pediatrics - says about it. I don't have a copy at home, or else I'd be able to tell you. )

As long as they are safe for the baby they should be fine no matter how many times you are on them. Mind you they aren't good for you.
