Context of your question is missing. Antibiotic intake during pregnancy can alter the growth of the baby. That's what it could have meant. Kindly disclose the full details of the report to get a much clearer opinion.

The test of bacterial culture test can be altered if the patient has already been taking antibiotics at the time of taking sample. Because if you are already taking antibiotics the bacteria may not grow on culture. So, you should interpret the results of test in context of the patient.
