firsttimemom

So I've been sick for 9 days idk if that's good for the baby since I can't take any thing. I've had a stuffy nose I can't breath,my throat is killing me n head ugh horrible wondering if I should go to the Dr or just wait????

kdaniels

Go to the doc! I waited bc I didn't think mind was bad I ended up in the er with the flu and mono at the same time and I'm still getting better. U could b in danger of. Bad dehydration I was drinking 74 oz of water a day and they still said I was dehydration and have me 3 liters of iv fluids. When ur pregnant u get a lot sicker than usual. Make an appt!

firsttimemom

Should I make an appt with my general Dr or my gynocolgist???

kdaniels

General doc. And don't b scared just get as soon as I can. U won't miscarry that soon but u need to see a doc. ur hump might need to see u to follow up but that'd b up to the general doc.

and many pregnant women get congestion so stuffy nose is no big thing

I'm 33 weeks, jus got over the flu...I went to dr...if your fever over 100.5 for more than 24 hours, definatley go see general dr, but also call and let ob/gyn know...take tylenol only for fever, no ibuprofen or advil....they prescribed tamaflu for me, plus drink lots water and juice...I didn't eat for 2-3 days I felt so bad...body aches, fvr up to 103, sore throat, headache..ugh! on meds I felt better in about 3 days, so don't wait!
