    Hi, i am 8 weeks and currently taking Amoxicillin. I was very hesitant, but after talking to 3 doctors i have decided i am comfortable taking it. Of course it's not desirable, but they all assure me it has been used many many times in pregnant women with no ill effect.

    FWIF- It's Cat B.
    From MIMS "Category B: Either animal-reproduction studies have not demonstrated a foetal risk but there are no controlled studies in pregnant women or animal-reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect (other than a decrease in fertility) that was not confirmed in controlled studies in women in the 1st trimester (and there is no evidence of a risk in later trimesters)."

    Here's a link about the categories that Alan did....https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...ncy-45178.html
