Sick - when do I tell the OB?

Question

I’ve had some sort of cold for over 1 week. I haven’t had any fevers but I’ve had the hardest time licking this bug! I’m currently 21w. Do I just continue to ride it out or should I notify the OB?

Answer

I am still recovering from Flu A and my obstetrician couldn’t help much as it is out of her scope. She said, to ensure I am well hydrated and take paracetamol if necessary as it is safe in pregnancy. Strictly no Ibuprofen.
Just take lots of warm fluids and warm soup. Ensure you don’t get high fever. Hope you feel better soon.

Answer

I’d just ride it out honestly or go to your PCP if you think you need antibiotics

Answer

I was ill for a month and they basically just said your body is too busy making the baby to recover properly and you should ‘rest’ lol
