I found out I have Bronchitis

So, yesterday my husband had to take me to the ER due to shortness of breath. I had called my insurance's 24 hour nurses hotline and they recommended that I go. Well, I have bronchitis. I'm taking Z-pack (antibotics) and the Ventolin inhaler. Last night, I also had a breathing treatment. I mentioned the shortness of breath to my OB two weeks ago; however, he told me it was common during the 3rd trimester, which I'm currentlly in.

Today I called my OB's nurse bc the emergency room physician wanted me to follow up with my OB this week to be checked out . The OB nurse told me to come to the office in two weeks. I'm still not feeling the best. Therefore, I'm glad that I called my primary doctor because she wants me in her office tomorrow. I had read on another thread that it's a good idea to call your PCP when you have breathing problems during pregnancy.

 Has anyone had bronchitis during their pregancy?
