Who do I call - regular PCP or my OB?
Last night I started wheezing. It's really only when I take a deep breath, but it's definitely there. There's no other symptoms of a cold or anything - I'm just scared that it will turn into bronchitis or something. 
I've been hearing mixed thoughts on which doctor to call to get this checked out... I'm thinking my PCP....

i would call your PCP - but of course, let them know that you are pregnant....and on the way to the pharmacy to get whatever they give you filled, i'd call the OB and let them know what you were given.

You can call both if you want, but your OB will have you see your PCP. The OB can't treat bronchitis. Just make sure you clear whatever meds the PCP prescribes with your OB before you take them.

both, but your OB probably will not see you. They'll send you to a PCP. I just like to keep the OB informed, just in case. Feel better! I just got diagnosed with a double ear infection on Monday & I'm 36 weeks (with a cold too!).

I hope it's nothing!  Do you have regular strength Tylenol on hand? I've had a few little sore throat scares and took Ty just to be sure and nothing ever came of it. Knock wood .

I would probably call your PCP, and like the other said inform them you are pregnant and go from there.
