Went to the doctor yesterday after I had called my ob and they were worried about how sick I sounded on the phone. Ended up being a good thing that I went because they said that both ears are infected, a upper respiratory infection, and strep throat. They put me on antibiotics and some medicine to help with my cough, but the medicine makes me nervous I worry that something bad will happen from me taking that kind of medicine at 22 weeks pregnant. I voiced my concern over the medicine but the doctor said its also just as bad being super sick like this because that affects the baby too. Now I have been waiting for every little movement from my baby as a reassurance he's doing ok. Do any of you ladies share the same anxieties about being sick vs. Meds while pregnant?
i had a really bad sinus infection a couple weeks ago. no doctor would prescribe me anything though and only told me to take robitussin and drink lots of water. i was up for 3 days coughing and not being able to breathe which i think kept my little one awake the whole time so when i took robitussin DM night time, she slept and didn’t move for a good day. after that she was back to her normal movements.
