Probably a stupid question...

but since I feel like total crap today don't judge. I am getting sick, and I feel it's all in my chest. I feel wheezie and it's hard to breathe. My reg. dr. quit, so I don't have one anymore. I did call the office to get an apt. with a new dr. but they can't get me in until Monday. I am going to go to urgent care instead. (Joy.)

So, here comes my dumbasss question: did you call your OB when you got sick to get ideas on what you could take to feel better, double check the meds the dr. gave you etc? Or did you not call them at all? My brain says since this is not baby related not to even bother, but since I feel like total crapola and it can affect the baby if I'm sick, maybe I should, but I don't think they can do anything since it's not their area.

To call or not to call? Thanks! (I feel like retard for even asking)

I went to the OB for everything during my pregnancy and they told me to do so. ?

Definitely call your OB. My practice wants me to come to them for ALL concerns when pregnant - not to see a regular dr.

At our first appointment my OB practice gave me a long list of common ailments and medications I was allowed to take. I had strep throat last week, and based on the list I knew what antibiotics I could or could not have. I brought the list to a regular doc and she prescribed an appropriate medication for me.

If you don't have a list like this, I'd just call your OB and ask what you can or can't take to help relieve your symptoms. GL and feel better!

I don't mean to hijack Lala's post, but I have a follow up question. Should I give my OB a heads up that I had strep and was on meds they approved? Do you think they want it in my record or something? I didn't bother to mention it at my last appointment because I was feeling better.

murph - I would definitely let them know. ?I just felt like family Dr.'s are not totally?knowledgeable?in obstetrics and they might miss something that would be a red flag to an OB, so I thought it was best for my OB to have my entire medical history for when I was pregnant.

Evans, that's a good point. I guess at the time I felt like the meds were on the list, so no worries. I'll let them know.
