Hi,thanks for query.Most of the antibiotics are not used in early pregnancy.Again presence of infection in body can also lead to problem.Please discuss this with your gynecologist and decide the action.There are chances some fetal abnormalities due to drugs used for treating this disease due to undiagnosed pregnancy.First 3 months are crucial for development of body parts of fetus.
please talk to your doctor and at least go for ultrasound to have idea about present status.
all the best .
It depend upon your condition ,pregnancy needs very careful watch for any fetal malformation.Level 2 or level 3 ultrasound scan at 18- 20 weeks can rule out most of drug or fever induced malformation .
as drugs taken at perifertilization has less damage than drugs taken at time of organogenesis .
If your health permits and you are in dire need of baby ,you can take risk to keep baby up 18-19 weeks with regular investigation & vigilance.
