pneumonia symptoms while pregnant

You have pneumonia while pregnant!?

The past few days I thought I had a minor cold since I was coughing a bit, have a headache, and feel a bit of pressure while breathing. I figured I would just wait it out because a cold isn't anything to worry about. Well, my husband had the same symptoms as well, but when he woke up today, it was harder for him to breathe so he went to the hospital and found out he had walking pneumonia but was given nothing to treat it because they said he has to get over it himself.

I have got over a serious bout of pneumonia about a week ago and also had a marble slab dropped on my big toe a few days ago, and now for the last two days am experiencing waves of nausea every time I drink or eat something. It clears up within minutes of completing my meals, but has occurred without fail for the last two days. Could the pneumonia or injuring my toe have anything to do with the the nausea? I've never experienced this before, any help is appreciated.

i also was using doxycycline 100 mg and septra for chlamydia. its kinda strange how pneumonia just popped up a while after my chlamydia and cleared up. i am really freaking out im going for a test today. i had unprotected sex with a girl once we both cheated on our partners.

while swallowing, i feel pain in the upper left part of throat and a little in my ear, what could this be?

It's not safe to be sick while pregnant. Your temperature should not exceed 102.5 or so for the health of your baby. If your mom or anyone close to you is sick it is highly advised you stay away from them till symptoms subside. My brother in law lives with us and has bad allergies and though they aren't contagious I enforce him taking his meds like crazy! You should definitely go to a doctor to be safe. Better safe than sorry.

One might suspect that you have underlying asthma and that when you get a viral infection each year, it triggers pneumonia –like symptoms. I would suggest getting a pulmonary function test while you are sick to see if this is, indeed, asthma. If this is not the case, another possible reason is that the local immune system in your lungs is not protecting you from the infection. This is usually an antibody problem and can be checked with a blood test.

I am now 31 weeks pregnant and this morning, I was exposed to a person who has pneumonia. I went to her one-bedroom apartment and stayed at her bedroom for about half an hour. I came back to my office and did research, which tells me that if the person did not cough, it's probably okay. I don't think the person coughed while I was there but naturally, I am worried...Does anyone know anything about this? Should I call my OB and ask for a nurse to speak about this?

Hi, is your WBC under 20? It sounds as if you just have the effects of pneumonia. It will likely take a while to get over that. I'd ask on the pneumonia forum. Easy bruising from lymphoma would have shown up as low platelets on your WBC.

Yes, it scars your lungs. I've had it 5 times in my life now (first was around 15 yrs old)... and I've had anti-biotic resistant strain before resulting in hospitalization while pregnant with twins. I took 4 days of the Z-pak and the pneumonia got worse. I ended up hospitalized for a week and lost the babies in 2005. I have it again right now. Just make sure you listen to your body. My current doc told me I had Bronchitis.

Ive had pneumonia but not while pregnant. All I can suggest is to just rest and drink tons of water. I hope it goes without saying but call in to work. If you have other kids get help.

ve had a cough for the past 15 days really bad and just found out last week we are pregnant again. Anyone else have experience with taking antibiotics while 1st trimester? Did it make the nausea worse?

I took a z pac at 31 weeks I got bronchitis at my baby shower. It ***** so much more getting sick while you are pregnant. I am still sick at 33 weeks. I went to doctor tuesday and have a slight yeast infection. I have never had one before in my life.

Im prone to catching the flu and pnuemonia - already had my flu shot and was planning on asking the Dr about getting an pneumonia shot too. I had pneumonia while preggers with my third, it was a nightmare. And Ive been told that once you have it once youre prone to get it again afterwards.

Hello I have a 7 year old whom since he was 2 weeks old was diagnosed with asthma and reflux he has been in and out of dr office alot has had pneumonia 4 times since winter of 09 till now we are currently trying to get into national jewish to get help but for now what can we do?

i also was using doxycycline 100 mg and septra for chlamydia. its kinda strange how pneumonia just popped up a while after my chlamydia and cleared up. i am really freaking out im going for a test today. i had unprotected sex with a girl once we both cheated on our partners. my girl hasnt been showing any symptoms and i see the girl at work all the time and she looks absolutely fine. I also have been experiencing tightness in muscle and sometimes but this maybe due to lack of sleep or anxiety.

about a month and 1/2 before i got pregnant i had severe respitory problems with pneumonia and was hospitalized for a week. so after my discharge at hosp my treatments were breathing machine with 2 medications in it...high doses of steroids(prednisone) for weeks..inhaler and advair. shortly after i went off the steroids i felt great. so i was just using my puff inhaler and advair. then a couple weeks later i find out i am pregnant so i stop the advair (category c ). i know stupid.

Are there other co-morbid medical conditions present? Pneumonia usually responds well to antibiotics. If the symptoms persist despite the prescribed medications, a repeat chest x-ray or imaging studies may help determine if the infection is still present. Other considerations to be ruled out include allergic issues as well. Take care and do keep us posted.

I'm 27 weeks and was offered the vaccine for lock jaw whooping cough and diphtheria. I'm not anti vaccine by any means, but I only use medicine and doctors as a last resort. Not in an extreme way. I go to all my appointments, my kids are vaccinated and go to check ups. As an adult I've never had the flu shot and only use medicine when I can't tough it out. That being said, I'm really on the fence about getting a vaccine while pregnant.

How are you now? There are symptoms of aspiration pneumonia but they normally last longer than a short bit. https://www.healthline.com/health/aspiration-pneumonia#treatment. Please let us know how you are doing now.

and runny nose for over three weeks and im seven months pregnant. I went to the doctor on Thursday and he basically didn't say anything about it. Its just getting worse and worse every day and it is even starting to keep me up at night. Ill go to bed at 10 then wake up between three and five then ill be up for the rest of the day( even tho i feel like i could fall asleep at any minute i cant actually fall asleep) and at three thirty i woke up barely able to breathe.

I didnt get the flu while pregnant but with my third pregnancy I did get pneumonia for the first time and yes I did feel like I was dying. I couldnt breathe and everytime I tried it felt like something would constrict even tighter to make it harder for the next breath. My hubby was terrified and in tears while the ER tried finding out wtf was going on.

When your cd4 falls below 200. You wouldn't have PCP within 45 days of infection.

My baby is fine but it was definitely a stressor i didnt need while pregnant. Get to your doctor ASAP and have them monitor and medicate you. Believe me dont make the mistake i did. I relied upon home remedies( which arent all that bad) when what i really needed was antibiotics. In the end i was admitted and went through countless bloodwork and breathing treatments. You immune system is suppressed when you are pregnant, you are going to need a little helpnif it gets worse. Feel better!

And pneumonia is not like bronchitis. So, symptoms are not always as predictable. It can take a while to get over. If you still have your symptoms on day 5 on antibiotics, I would call your doctor. The thing with antibiotics is that different ones treat different pathogens. What pathogen caused your pneumonia if it is bacterial? Or if it is atypical or walking pneumonia due to mycoplasma, that requires a different antibiotic. And if it is not bacterial or viral, you should know!

So, is it safe to say that regarless of being tested while/under pneumonia and its meds, that negative elisa 2 years after last unprotected exposure would trump symptoms??? Thank you very much in advance and thats the end of it really.

Have anyone started feeling dizzy, weak and hard to breath sitting or standing but OK laying down while taking medicine for pneumonia and how long do it last or should I go back to the ER.
