Introduction
Can you take antibiotics during pregnancy ? If so, how often?: here are some questions that are very common among expectant mothers.
In this article, whose information can be completed with the advice you will find in the pre-birth video course “Nascere e Rinascere Madre” , curated by the midwife Maria Chiara Alvisi, you will find all the answers.

What happens if I take antibiotics and I'm pregnant?
If you take an antibiotic and you are pregnant, there is no danger to the health of the mother or of the unborn child .
As Dr. Alvisi points out in this video , antibiotics can be taken during pregnancy.
In fact, most of these medicines are compatible with pregnancy.
Antibiotics represent approximately 80% of the drugs prescribed during the months of gestation (source: Fondazione Veronesi ).
Once the therapy is concluded, it is crucial to take probiotics and other natural products recommended by your doctor aimed at restoring the eubiosis, or balance, of the microbiota and the intestinal microbiome .
It should not be forgotten that the quality of the mother's maternal microbiota during pregnancy impacts the intestinal health of the unborn child and, as fetal programming studies remind us, also influences the well-being of subsequent generations.
