BACTRIM BEFORE I KNEW I WAS PREGNANT

Hello! My name is Anna and I am 12 weeks pregnant. The first day of my last period was September 26.  At that time, I was taking Bactrim and Fluconazole. I finished the prescribed doze by the end of October and than  i missed my period. So technically, i was into my 4th week of pregnancy on these meds. I am very worried now and I wonder if medications have effect on the baby's development that early in pregnancy. I had my first 2 appointments with OBGYN and ultrasounds and everything looks good they say. Please advise. THANKS!

That's an antibiotic right? I'm 19+3 and on antibiotics for a sinus infection I have had for 3 months that will not go away. You should be just fine.
