When is it just too long to be sick when pregnant?
A few weeks ago it started and I was knocked down for about 1.5 weeks, flu type things with a heavy, mucousy chest. Took panadol and on day 5 I was pescribed anti-biotics. In the meantime DD and DP came down with a cold/flu, though nothing like mine. I was getting better and was more concentrated in looking after them (always put ourselves last yeah?). Anyhoo... finished the anti-biotics, phlem was coming up. But Im still sick. I have seemed to have pulled a muscle in my stomach from all the coughing.
This morning I coughed up so much gunk I vomited twice. My nose is still runny and gross.
An antenatal appointment last week showed my BP was up. But I have been horribly ill and still not 100%.
What do you think? Do you think it will just take time to get better, being pregnant and all or do you think I should go see another doc and see whats going on?
MM I would go and get some more AB's. It really sounds like you need them. This time look after you and not everyone else. One thing though why didn't they say anything at your a/n appointment????
My doc seemed to shrug it off as being pregnant means it can take a long time for it to pass. She just mentioned how everyone has been sick the past few weeks. I dont tend to complain much about sickness.. so maybe I didnt come across strong enough. Ill give her a call tomorrow thanks!
Definitely go back to the doctor... I had an upper respitory infection while pregnant with DD2 and the first doctor I saw told me there was nothing I could take for it... I waited 3 weeks and didn't get better so went and saw my usual doctor who is also an OB and got antibiotics.
Sick for almost 3 weeks... can't be good, right?
