It is safe to take penicillin while pregnant. Penicillin falls in the pregnancy category B. The medicine has been around for a long time and shows no adverse effect on pregnant women. Doctors usually prescribe penicillin to treat strep throat or a UTI.
First, they test the mother to see if she has GBS. If she does, she will get intravenous (IV) antibiotics during labor to kill the bacteria. Penicillin is most commonly given, but other medicines can be used if a woman is allergic to it. It's best for a woman to receive antibiotics for at least 4 hours before delivery.
