2nd Trimester

Should have went to the drs. today

I started out with a bad cold Wednesday, now it is really bad.  All in mt chest and it hurts to cough and I am short of breath.  I am worried it might turn into something more than a cold.  Now I might have to wait till Monday- I hope it doesn't get any worse.

Re: Should have went to the drs. today

  • Go to the urgent care.  A cold that settles in your chest and is painful and makes it difficult for you to breathe isn't good.

  • If you notice that it's getting worse, call the doc or go to urgent care like pp suggested.  No matter what, just don't wait the way I did a couple of weeks ago.  I developed a horrible cough and waited a while to go.  The cough was so bad that I pulled muscles on both sides.  Now, the cough is almost gone, but I'm still incredibly uncomfortable.  Doctor said it's easier to do when you're pregnant.  I was very sick, but the pulled muscles have been the worst part.

  • Thanks ladies.  I just called my doctors office and left a message for the on call doctor to call me back.  I am going in tomorrow at 10.  I called my regular doctor, I guess that is who I should have called, and not my OB, right?

    If they want you to check with the OB first, they'll let you know.
