My wife had a kidney infection when she was pregnant with our middle child in 2003, and the walk-in clinic doc prescribed Ciprofloxacin. She filled out the prescription, but I did a quick search just to make sure it was safe during pregnancy. The research at the time indicated it was generally safe, but I came across one study that indicated negative outcomes on experiments on pregnant dogs; the resultant puppies had issues with joints, cartilage development, and general 'lameness'. Called the clinic and had the prescription changed to a penicillin-based antibiotic, with was prudent, since Cipro-class drugs (fluoroquinolones) have since been removed from the drugs recommended in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
