I have doubts but my doctor said I need to take it because of my colds and coughs. Anything I feel will be felt by the baby said the doctor so it's better to cure my colds and cough with the antibiotics coz the baby might suffer pneumonia when he came out. So here I am taking the meds hoping my baby will be fine when he comes out.

You have to trust your doctor, who will weigh the advantages of treating an ongoing infection, or ignoring it.

I dont think your doctor would advise you to take antibiotics if it was harmful to your baby.

There's always a risk with anything you do. However, most antibotics are safe for pergant women so long as they aren't taken in extreme doses. Your doctor would've taken your preganancy into account.

I don't think there's anything to worry about it if its prescribed by my trusted doctor.

Since the recommendation came from your Doctor, a healthy mum produces a healthy baby, take care of yourself.
