Will ATT Injection Cause Harm To Baby During Pregnancy?

Hi, doctor. I am 37 yrs old and I am on 28th week of pregnancy (it is first pregnancy). Today I visited my doctor and he gave me ATT injection. My pregnancy is going well without any difficulties. So, could you explain, please, what is a purpose of this injection during pregnancy and can it create any problem for the baby?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Linda.
