Hello!
I had a Staph infection 2 weeks ago and was put on bactrim and keflex, plus I took a total of 4 Tylenol with codeine's. I took the antibiotics daily for a week(6 pills a day). At the ER they did a pregnancy test, it was negative. I just took one and I am pregnant, about 5 weeks. Could these antibiotics harm/affect my baby's development?

Hi maximagirl... welcome to AMHD,

Some antibiotics are safer than others in pregnancy, but with the limited use you had, and that very early on, any problems would be unlikely.
