The research, published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, found links between some antibiotics and congenital malformations in newborns.
The study included an analysis of information on 139,938 live births in Quebec, Canada, between 1998 and 2008.
Clindamycin, doxycycline, quinolones, macrolides, and phenoxymethylpenicillin were linked to organ-specific malformations.
Amoxicillin, cephalosporins, and nitrofurantoin were not associated with birth defects.
Senior author of the study Dr Anick Berard said: "Infections during pregnancy are frequent and should be treated; however, our study highlights safer options for the treatment of infections, more specifically urinary tract infections or pulmonary infections, at least during the first trimester of pregnancy."
