Will your OB prescribe an antibiotic for you while pg if you're sick?
I'm 2 days from my due date and I think it time for me take an antibiotic. I started to feel sick last Friday. I had a sore throat, fever, aches and chills all weekend. I saw my OB on Monday and mentioned it to him and he said that it sounded viral. Yesterday, I started coughing and now I'm coughing up green stuff and it feels like it's in my chest. so question is, do I call my OB? Can he give me meds? I havent seen my primary care doctor in at least 2 years.
I'm so scared of going into labor feeling like this and then possibly infecting her and getting her sick!

I would think your Primary would prescribe it for you, but it never hurts to call and ask.

I'd call your primary as well. Z-pack is safe and the best!!!!

call your primary doctor. I had bronchitis and got antibiotics during this pregnancy.

My primary care prescribed me a z-pack when I was about 12 weeks. He touched base with my OB to make sure it was okay and it was fine.

Yea, I was going to say that your PCP should prescribe it, but it's best if either you or he/she contacts your OB first to make sure whatever they prescribe is safe- especially when you could go into labor at any point!
