What Is The Risk Of Genetic Disorders In Baby If Antibiotics Are Taken During Early Pregnancy?

Hi There, I understood I m pregnant yesterday.This unplanned and unexpected pregnancy. I was ill two weeks ago - flu with high temperature 39 degrees which I kept 3 days, took a lot of tablets on every 3-4 hours and antibiotic. When i understood I m pregnant read a lot of information - it s very dangerous, high risk to damage between 2-12 weeks of pregnancy to take tablets. Could you give me advice May I make some test to understand if there is any genetic problem, because if there is something i would like to stop this pregnancy.

HI.

In majority of cases, women who are on antibiotics and are unknowingly pregnant do not encounter any complications and go on to deliver perfectly healthy babies. I do recommend an anomaly scan at your 12th week of pregnancy to make sure all is well, nothing more required as of now.

Best wishes.
