Bronchitis while pregnant

[lizxvx]

Has anyone else on here experienced this before? If so, any recommendations for some relief? or any comforting words? This is my first pregnancy and I'm somewhat terrified that this might harm the baby.

So far I've gotten out the humidifier, have been taking nice steamy showers, drinking lots of Emergen-C, water, green tea, and eating lots of soup.

I had bronchitis with my son around 6 months pregnant. My fever got around 104 so his heartrate was higher than normal. But once they got my fever down, everything was fine. All the coughing made me sore.
drink lots of water, all the other things you are doing, and (sounds gross)-but whenever you cough and can spit anything out, do it. The more you get out of there, the better. And of course, call a dr. to see if there is a safe medication to get rid of it quicker.
lots of rest. you and baby will be fine. Hope you get better soon!

Thanks! That makes me feel a lot better!

There is a ton of stuff you can take- but make sure you call the nurse at your OB's office so they can help you out!
