Yes, but..: Yes, you can continue taking the probiotics and eating yogurt, but the antibiotics will just kill the probiotics, so better save your $ and wait until the course of antibiotics is finished and then resume the probiotics and yogurt. Wishing you a healthy, safe, joyful labor and delivery. I welcome your baby into this wondrous world. May you all have a long life together full of love and laughter.
