antibiotics while pregnant

So I had to take antibiotics twice during my pregnancy. One time it was the pack you take for like 4 days I believe and its because I had a virus/flu going on then the second time which was like 3-4weeks later I had amoxicillin because again I had came down with a cold but with an ear infection. I was suppose to stay on the amoxocillin for I think was like 10+ days but everytime I would take it I felt my baby move alot and just felt nasty so I ended up taking it for only 2-3 days. Which I got better. But do any of you know if this can be bad for my baby? Btw the first time I had the antibiotic prescribed was by my OB and the second time was by the hospital because I had to go into the hospital I was running a fever and all.

I took antibiotics twice during my first trimester and as long as the Dr. Knows your pregnant they prescribe meds that are safe during pregnancy and they usually only prescribe to pregnant women when it's necessary. As being sick or having a fever etc. Can also harm your growing baby. My friend bad IV antibiotics at the hospital during her third trimester and her baby is perfectly healthy :)
