I am 28 weeks pg, and have been suffering from colds and flu for the past 2 months. I have not had a day when I feel properly well. For over 24 hours now I have been feeling truly awful - I can safely ssay I have never felt so ill. My lungs hurt when I breathe so I can only take shallow breaths, my nose is constantly running, I am sneezing every minute, I cannot lie down because I feel like I am choking as a result of the mucus in my chest. I did not sleep last night, and it looks like I won't tonight either. I have just had two serious bouts of multiple vomiting - I cannot even hold down water. I am truly miserable.
Doctor put me on amoxycilin this morning, and I called her this evening. She has reassured me that it is not pnemonia, just a chest infection. She does not know about the vomiting.
Anyone else had this, and what should I do? I feel incredibly weak and am shivering one minute and really hot the next.
