re: did any of you get sick while pregnant

Quoting KelseyLynn:" My doctor has completely dismissed my being sick. Wont even see me. My ob just told me to go to the hospital ... [snip!] ... can't keep going like this. I just wanna cry cause it feels like I'm never gonna be better.   any remedies? Anything?"

you just described me excatly for a whole before going into labour.....

You sure you don't possibly have bronchitis if your cough is that bad? I just got over really bad sinusitis and my OB insisted I go to the dr. I went to Dr.'s Care and they saw me no problem. Granted it took 2 times to get the script right, but a Z Pack worked perfectly...for my horribly sinus pressure and drainage and runny nose he recommended a steam bath to help dry it up and get the gunk out (it was temporary relief, but helped some)....My OB called in the Z pack for me because the regular Dr. didn't wanna prescribe much so worst case let your OB know how bad you really are not getting better...could be more than a stupid annoying cold  Hope you feel better!

My doctor prescribed a Z-pack while I was sick. It cleared it up almost immediately. Ask your doctor what you can take or if he can prescribe something.

Thanks ladies. I switched primary doctors & got someone to see me. Theu gave me some antibiotics & stuff to do breathing treatments. My throat already feels better somewhat  

I used tiger balm for everything when i was pregnant, its great! Try rubbing it on your chest, its great for headaches too
