Hey guys.  So I started having the tiniest bit of blood yesterday I went to the hospital and the doc said I had a infection. The doc prescribed cefalaxin. Just need to know even though they said its fine does this harm the baby has anyone else taken this?

It's classified as a category b drug meaning no years have been shown to have adverse affects on a fetus during any stage of pregnancy.

I've never been on it but I googled it and it said it cannot harm an unborn baby, but not to use it during breastfeeding because it can pass to the baby through the  milk and may harm a nursing baby. But during pregnancy it is fine.
