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.
