38 weeks pregnant with chest infection

[user1495351390]

Hey ladies.

Has anyone had experience of being ill this late in pregnancy? I'm 38 weeks pregnant with baby number 3 and have had a chest and ear infection for the last week and a half. I finish my antibiotics tomorrow but they have had no effect on either infection. I'm so sick of coughing and concerned about still being ill when I go into labour! Anyone got any positive stories to ease my mind?

I'm going back to the Dr tomorrow and praying they will have something they can offer me to cure this. I hate being ill and I've pulled so many muscles in my bump through coughing it's so painful.

😢

Been put on clarithromycin and amoxicillin. Anyone have experience with taking these at the same time?

If ABs haven't touched it then it could have been viral. I had this around 33 weeks and it was AWFUL.

I think you just need to take yourself to bed for a week to be honest. Lots of nourishing food and fluids, try and build your strength up
