Mostly, which drug?: Almost all drugs of the cephalosporin class are considered safe in pregnancy. They are classified as category b which states: animal studies show no risk or adverse fetal effects but not controled human 1st trimester studies available, no evidence of 2nd or third timester risk. However, each drug in the class has its own studies performed. Can you give the name of the drug you are taking?
