Yes, genes play a big part in future generations, but it's a guessing game and this doesn't mean your baby will be 100% allergic to penicillin. However, it is extremely important to communicate well with your physician and let him/her know what allergies regarding medications are in the family. If you are not allergic to penicillin then it's doubtful your baby will be. Please speak with your doctor about it just to be on the safe side.

If one is allergic to penicillin Is it safe to take Keflex?
It depends what the allergy was to penicillin. Overall, there is around a 7-10% chance of cross-sensitivity (meaning you may be allergic to Keflex if allergic to penicillins). If you developed a rash/hives from penicillin, the doctor MAY prescribe Keflex if the Dr. believes Keflex is the best antibiotic choice for you. If you had an anaphylaxic reaction (meaning you had a life threatening reaction to penicillins), the doctor should NOT prescribe keflex. He or she should prescribe something else. Make sure you let your Dr. and pharmacist know all allergies you have to prevent any problems in the future.
