Cephalexin is a: pregnancy category B which means there has been no evidence of risk to fetus in humans based on past trials. So as far as the medication adversely affecting the baby, that should not happen. But whatever condition she had that prompted the antibiotic needs to be watched carefully to make sure it will resolve. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
