I'm 40 weeks and 4 days pregnant with a scheduled induction on the 28th which is in 6 days. I've had this cold for almost two weeks now and when I call the doctors it's always the one I dislike the most on the phone. When I first told him I was sick, he told me the basic "drink a lot of fluid, get rest, and take Tylenol". Well, I've been doing that for 12 days now and it has only gotten worse. I now have developed an ear infection and been coughing horribly, to the point where I've been throwing up. I called the doctors again yesterday and he was the one who responded. First, I had to tell him who I was and how far along I was because apparently he doesn't remember me at all. I even had to tell him where I went for prenatal care! He told me the same thing again. Well I'm at high risk for a c-section, even with the induction, and I read and was told that if I am sick they can't do a c-section on me if it's needed. What can I do?? I have an appointment on Friday with a female doctor (who I like because she gets angry at what the other doctors tell me) and I don't know if between Friday and Tuesday is enough time to get it out of my system if she does give me something. Anyone have similar experiences or any advice?
