Man this last part of pregnancy has just been a lovely adventure for me, from my roof leaking in multiple places, my dogs needing emergency surgery to now having strep throat, what a blast and my doc says there is nothing I can do about it but take the basic OTC meds!

Really when I got strep at the end of my pregnancy they put me on a z pack right away. The DR was afrid of the risk of fever and said strep can put you into early labor. hmmm I guess different DR different things.
Then again you might want to go ahead and start labor.

I always get strep maybe 3-4 times a year, and almost had my tonsils (sp) out because of it last year but I was pregnant with Troy. I am not sure why he doesn't want anyone else to treat me! I don't have a fever which is good but my little man has it too or something like it, Troy is coughing up a storm, the same way I am. I am now worried if I stay with it with out antibiotics they won't let me see the baby when he comes which is why I went in Friday so if I needed antibiotics I would feel better by the time I have him, But my doctor was gone and his fill in said to just take OTC for relief until he can see me, I am so over my doctor and his partners believe me!
