Flagyl: The drug will not cause harm to your baby. Not to worry, your doctor would not have prescribed it if it were harmful.

Probably nothing!: While there are theoretical concerns on the safety of Metronidazole in early pregnancy based on animal studies, docs often prescribe it & problems in humans have not been seen. I have limited space here- for more details see http://www.Ivillage.Com/flagyl-metronidazole-use-when-pregnant/6-n-145742 & http://jac.Oxfordjournals.Org/content/44/6/854.Full & http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmed/7856680.
