Questions about having a cold/being sick - A little worried

I've had a pretty bad cold for the past few days. Haven't taken anything. Now, if i wasn't pg i would just ride it out but, i am wondering, given i am pg should i call the dr.?

Do you call your dr. anytime you are sick?

I guess i am just nervous because i am still in the 1st tri and worried if this could be harmful to the baby?

TIA

if you are getting better, i don't think its harmful but to be double sure that you've nipped the cold in the bud and to avoid a relapse, you may want to check in with the doc. hope you feel better

I think if it's getting better, than good for you!!! I ended up with a sinus infection, so I needed some help. Check how you feel tomorrow and call the doctor to ease your fears!

Re: Question about having a cold/being sick

Thanks ladies! I am feeling better and am functional but I am still very congested. Not sure that there is really anything the dr. can do. Two maybe silly questions:

1. Which dr. do you call - regular internist or ob?
2. Can this be harmful to the baby?

I guess I am the only one suffering over here

no..u aren't the only one I am dying....

You call your regular doc--and tell him-my obgyn said benadryl-and tylenol which is doing nothing...
my advice is--if u have nothing green coming out of your body leave it alone.
Green is infection.
Drink tons and sorry to say---suffer with me...nothng much more u can do!
