She's right it is very safe. And remember if you get a fever to keep it down with Tylenol a fever over 103 can be fatal to your baby this early in pregnancy

Amoxicillin is the safest antibiotic they can perscribe for pregnant women. I asked my ob andpharmasist before taking it. They both said it was safe. I have had so many infections since I got pregnant. I promise you its safe. My baby is super healthy and I've had to take it 2 times already.
