I agree that it is unlikely that an antibiotic will do any harm.  I was on amoxicillian for a period of time during my pregnancy..prescribed by my Dr. knowing I was pregnant.  Ane exception that I am aware of is tetracycline which can cause mottling of the teeth, but I don't think that is a worry that early.  I'm not ever sure they prescribe that anymore.

If you just found out you were pregnant now, and your are a week late, that means you conceived about 3 weeks ago.  It is highly unlikely that any damage would have been done even if this was something not recommended during pregnancy.  Always check with your Dr., but I am sure your fine.  Congrats, and a happy and healthy 9 months!

Hey there,
I am not a doctor so I am unsure, but I dont thinkt he antibiotic would do any serious harm to your unborn baby, congratulations by the way. I would however suggest going to see your doctor and confirming the pregnancy with them and getting checked out just incase also let them know that you are concerned about having taken the antibiotic before you discovered you were pregnant. good luck and a happy healthy 9 month I hope xx
