It is common for pregnant women to have to take antibiotics at times when pregnant. It depends on the specific antibiotic and the dosage as to whether it's safe for the baby or not. Your dentist or ob/gyn will be able to tell you which ones are safe to take. But never self medicate with antibiotics you already have, or with antibiotics given to you by someone else (relative, friend, etc.) even if you are not pregnant.
