29w check up
Hi folks,
Had my check up today. Nothing too exciting to report, except that my OB was a bit worried about this cough I've had for a week. She wrote a perscription for a z-pack (antibiotics) that I can fill if I don't get better in a couple of days, and told me to take Robitussin and lots of fluids to see if that will help. She also told me I'll be doing NSTs starting in a few weeks, but it sounds like they won't involve u/s, just being hooked up to the monitor. I asked if this is because of what happened with Scheherazade. She said no, it's because I carry the MTHFR mutation (which possibly causes clotting), and because of the 2nd trimester bleeding. Should be interesting, anyway. Emily -- DS 5/02 EDD 9/5/05 |

I have both pregnancies developed a postnasal drip that resulted in coughing in the third trimester. It resolved upon the hormone shift at birth. I have read that this is a hormonal thing. I would not automatically take antibiotics for it. I wasn't "ill". I would have been too concerned about the side effects of the antibiotics had a doctor prescribed them for me for the cough. It was nasty at times. I had to watch incontinence during the coughs and occasionally would cough myself into a vomit. Dagny Mom to Meg, 10/03 RD, 1/05 |

Well, that doesn't sound like a fun cough to be dealing with!

I'm trying to avoid the antibiotics, and certainly won't take them without calling the OB first, just to check in. This one is definitely not post-nasal drip based, though. It's clear that there's gunk in my lungs that the cough is clearing out. For now, the Robitussin seems to be helping. It was nasty at times. I had to watch incontinence during the coughs and occasionally would cough myself into a vomit. That sounds like a serious drag! Emily |

Since about two weeks ago, people have been saying, very hopefully, "So when are you due?". Like the expect me to say next week or something... Emily |
