Does Taking Antibiotics During Pregnancy Cause Defects In Fetus ?

Hi, I was prescribed by-micin and prednisolone for a respiratory infection yesterday. It occurred to me today that I could be pregnant as of 4 days ago. Should I be worried about the antibiotics causing birth defects? Could they have caused any already?
