Yes: While these kinds of drugs do cross the placenta and can damage fetal kidneys, if they are needed to treat a serious infection in the mother then they are used.

No: Amikacin is a pregnancy category d drug, meaning there is positive evidence of human fetal risk. In lactation, safety is unknown.
