    Ok now that all makes sense.
    My question now is, she did not check chest, throat or anything to do with head cold. I did say at the start I had a head cold for week or so but then the rest of the cosultation was to do with pg. She wrote on my card after talking about more bh and doing internal. That is why I thought the abreiv. was to do with pg not being sick.

    I am happy to accept the above explanation but just wondered if she would write it just from no ivestigation.

    Thanks

    That sounds a bit dodgy. Were you prescribed antibiotics or something? Maybe your GP has magic powers by the sounds of it and doesnt need to hear whats going on in your chest before diagnosis of URTI lmao. Seriously it sounds all good, dont worry about it.

    They don't always examine you for a cold because if you have a lot of mucous in our nose and such the noise of that drowns out any noises in your chest. If you were feeling otherwise well your doctor probably didn't think much else about it. If it was affecting bub it probably would have showed in your examination. Things to watch for if it starts turning into a LRTI (lower respiratory tract infrction) would be a productive cough with yellow, green or brown mucous and you will generally feel sick. If you are at all concerned go back and see your doctor.

    Sorry if this has grossed anyone out.
