The 2.5-mg chlorhexidine chip is the best choice as it is a Category B drug, meaning it has been studied in pregnant animals and has not shown harmful effects on the fetus, and can be considered safe for use in pregnant women. The other two options, 10% doxycycline gel and 1-mg minocycline hydrochloride, are both Category D drugs and should be avoided during pregnancy as they have shown potential for harm to the fetus.
