So frustrated I could cry

I have been sick now for 2 weeks and my obgyn isn't doing anything for it. I have been to my family dr and he thinks there is something going on but when he talked to my ob she said it's all pregnancy crap..urgggg...so the last couple days I have been so,so short of breath like I can't even put away a load of laundry without feeling like I ran a mile and my lungs just burn. I started yesterday coughing up some pretty nasty crap. I am pretty sure I have bronchitis and I was talking to my drs nurse on fb and asked if I could try a zpak..call ur family dr..wow love the care! This baby is going to be born bf I feel better! Scares me to feel like this for 8-10 weeks and not feel good for labor! Sorry for the pity party;(

    Sorry you're feeling crappy, but you really can't expect someone to give out medical advice on Facebook. That's not very ethical of them if they do.

    Antibiotics will help only if it's bacterial; a lot of the time it's viral. You can hit up the Mucinex, and you could try a steroid inhaler and some other cough syrups if it's too rough to sleep - I ended up with both back in first tri because I was coughing so much my abs ached and getting zero sleep. I never used antibiotics because they wouldn't have helped.

    Can you go to Care Now or one of those 24 hour places, they will probably give you something.

    I know you can take mucinex if you want to try to break that junk up in your lungs. You can take 1200 mg twice a day, but only of plain mucinex!

    Good Luck, my OB also kind of blew me off when I thought I had Bronchittis, luckily my family doctor was worried about me breathing properly so LO was also breathing properly!!

    go into urgent care.  First tri I felt exhausted and had a really bad cough and it was pneumonia.  If you don't feel like you are getting the care you need look elsewhere!

    A productive cough is very good ~ you need to get that crap out.  I would definately go see your Dr again.  I hope you feel better soon!

        we are friends outside of work. we both work at the same place so that is why i was chatting with her on there. she would be the one to get the script from the dr. she just got done telling me her mom had this same crap and did two rounds of antibiotics and 2 inhalers and still felt bad so i asked maybe i should be on a zpak. it just seems very odd that they don't want to help me feel better. i mean two weeks thats a little ridiculous. my contractions had been doing good until i have been coughing my head off and now i am getting them again. i am very restricted with what i can take bc of being on zoloft and they don't recommend you to take any cough meds or cold meds :( thanks girls for the words of encouragement!
