Does this sound like a chest infection?

[salm923]

Hello,

I am 32 weeks pregnant. Does anyone know if this is a chest infection? Picked up a horrible sinus cold last week was horribly bunged up all week. I was coughing up yellow gunk but it went away. Since yesterday I have a painful chesty cough come on randomly and coughing up thick yellow stuff again and it hurts when I cough (not breathing). I can go about as normal but I'm worried it could be a chest infection ? Is this normal? I sleep through the night fine but as soon as I stand up it starts. Eases off in the day and have a bit of a dry cough. It's definitely coming from my chest as it hurts when I have to cough and causes a horrible kind of sound when I cough like I can hear it coming from there. It's strange as through the day and night time it seems to go away  I'm also allergic to penicillin so the only antibiotics I can take are nasty for baby!

The last chest infection I had was post covid I was bed bound for a few days and off work for a week I was so ill.

I think if I felt generally well and go do normal activities, I'd give it two weeks before I went to GP unless I got worse. It could just be a post viral cough that takes a few weeks to go.

I am not medically trained in any way.
I'd be inclined to call the GP as they are so careful i pregnancy they will have a different protocol.
