How big can an abscess get?

As big as your head! An abscess will fill with pus until the source of the infection is gone or it reaches the outside world (through your skin or gum) and pops like a zit and drains. If the source of the infection isn't taken care of the skin or gum will heal and the whole process will start over. Meanwhile, you're walking around with an infection that could affect you heart or brain and kill you. An antibiotic will only clear up the infection temporarily.

How dangerous is an infected tooth to an unborn child due to be born in two months?

If it becomes a "systemic" infection the baby could be in danger. If it's just a local infection the baby won't be affected. Unfortunately, there is no way to know how it will turn out. You had better have it taken care of. If the infection is due to gum disease, it increases the likelihood of the baby being born prematurely and with a lower birth weight.
