Sick when pregnant-- OB or primary doctor?
When you're pregnant and think you need antibiotic for sinus infection, do you go to your OB or regular primary care physician?
TIA!!!

Re: Sick when pregnant-- OB or primary doctor?
I called My OB when I was sick with Bronchitis and he told me to see my primary.
ETA I then called my OB back and double checked the Rx that my Dr gave to make sure all was ok.

Definitely primary -- if it's not OB related, they want you to call your regular doc.

I had an ear infection last week. I called my OB and he said it was fine to go to my primary.

I went to my primary, and they gave me an antibiotic. Then I asked the woman at the front desk to call my OB to make sure the antibiotic was ok.
Feel better!

My first tri i was on Antibiotic for like a month. I had 2 bad sinus infections. - I went to my ENT & they called & spoke with my OB about what Anti they would like to put me on.
