Lisa - I am sorry to hear you have been diagnosed with WC as well... the irony is we were only discussing this in our belly buddies thread a few weeks ago!
So sorry to hear about your Whooping Cough and having to take anti-biotics. Some advice from me in my capacity as pharmacist-turned-naturopathic student:
Erythromycin (active ingredient in EES) can really upset your stomach badly so do take them with food. Basically with each meal and before bed with a little snack (so that would be about 4 hours apart). They also wreak havoc with your gut flora and can cause thrush so please get onto the health store or pharmacy and start some probiotics before they make you even more miserable than you're already feeling. The usual recommnedation is to have pro-biotics with food but if you take them at the same time as the EES they'll be useless so best take them with 2 hours between the EES (best morning and evening).
I hope you start feeling better soon - rest is the BEST medicine of all so get plenty of it!
And your baby really is in the best place to be safe from the bug tucked away in your womb
