I took Keflex when I was pregnant before and it did not harm the baby. Although, I ended up being allergic to it!

Keflex should be fine for the baby. But, if it is not severely infected...i wouldn't take it. Removing the corner of the nails would take the infection away almost instantly. You can apply topical antibiotic ointment (neosporin) and soak the feet in epsom salts and warm water to dry out the infection.
