Hello,
Ampiclox (ampicillin) is safe to be taken during pregnancy while the data about metronidazole are a bit contradictory on causing birth defects.
You can take ampicillin and possibly metronidazole since you are at the second trimester or can switch to suppositories.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
