Strep throat

Ugh, I thought I could go a whole 9 months without getting sick.

I started feeling really worn down on Thursday but I thought it was just from a busy week at work planning a huge annual event...guess not.

I have pretty much been asleep all weekend and last night my throat started getting really sore. Throughout the night it got worse and by this morning I could hardly swallow.

We went to the local clinic this morning and the Dr informed me I have strep.  He called in a prescription for me and said it was safe to take while pregnant.  Of course I wasn't going to take his word alone.  I went home, called my RE's nurse on-call and while I waited for her to call me back I got online and searched for everything strep and pregnancy related.  The nurse said the antibiotic I was going to take was fine and that it would be worse for the baby if I didn't treat the strep.

It makes me nervous to take anything while I'm pregnant but it sounds like this is for the best.
