Last week, on Monday I started coughing, and as the week progressed the coughing got worse and worse. Then Sunday after church, I found that I had a fever. All week I have been dealing with this fever, and the cough, as well as the chills and hot flashes. It has been miserable. Not to mention the fact that being pregnant means that every time I cough I feel like I’m going to pee my pants. Well last two nights have just been the worst. I could not lay down without ending up in a coughing fit. I tried sleeping in the recliner, but that means not sleeping very well at all. Today I had to break down and go into the instacare. There the doctor asked me some questions about the cough and fever. He felt my neck, and listened to my lungs and said that we can’t take x-rays to confirm, because I’m pregnant but it’s “walking pneumonia”. He mentioned that he could hear the yuck in my left lung when I was breathing. So he gave me a prescription for two different antibiotics to take simultaneously. Just what I need to be dealing with at 20 weeks of pregnancy and in the middle of the summer. 🙁
