Cold now Flu like symptoms during pregnancy – does it warrant a trip to the emergency room?

Q: I’m 7 months pregnant and I’ve been with this cold for the past 2 weeks – congestion, stuffed up nose and recently a bad cough that hurts like crazy!. Today I feel a little worse as it seems I may be coming down with a fever and body aches. Also, it may be my mind working overtime but it feels like the baby isnt moving alot and of course I’m worried that my coughing is bouncing her around needlessly and may do her harm. I know colds and flu like symptoms are common in pregnancy, but I think maybe I should head to the er to be safe. Also since I’ve never been to an ER before, what’s the procedure? who do I ask for? Thanks everyone!I really REALLY appreciate all the answers. I do hear that trips to the ER are horrible. Just called my doctor and she wont be in until 3pm, so I will sit tight and talk to her before I rush out just to sit and wait for hours! Thanks again!

A: My 5-year-old diabetic son just got the flu even though he had the flu vaccine. So, I now know the flu symptoms well and the difference between a cold and the flu. If you have a fever, I would be concerned that you have the flu. But if not, and you have nasal congestion, it probably is a cold. During both my pregnancies, I had colds constantly. You’re more susceptible to viruses and colds because you are pregnant. Below is a web site that compares the symptoms to both of them. 🙂 The ER is probably not a great idea because there are so many colds and viruses going around this time of year and you may actually pick up something when you’re there! Kind of ironic, right?As far as the baby slowing down movement, you did the right thing by calling the OB and scheduling an appointment. In addition to checking the movement of your baby, your OB can also prescribe you antibiotics if he/she feels its necessary (for your cold/flu). Don’t worry too much, though, everything is probably just fine with your baby. I know with my first I made several trips to the OB concerned about little movement. One thing to remember is that because you’re working so much and probably moving around a lot, your baby won’t be as active. My OB told me with my first that when you walk around and work, it “rocks” the baby and makes him/her sleep. Good luck to you and you’re baby!!
