The medicatikons you used are safe in pregnancy but, if I'm calculating correctly, you're still in the first trimester. During organ formation, anything can affect growth, even things we're not aware of. Understanding this, the benefits must outweigh the possible negatives. If you needed the antibiotic, that's it. You needed it. The benefits outweigh the negatives. A sick mother certainly doesn't help her unborn babies.

Good luck with the twins.
