.Has anyone had strep throat when they were pregnant. I think I might have it along with a really bad cold. I am going to mention it to my doctor today, but was not sure if this could be harmful to the baby?

.I have it right now. I am 11 weeks pregnant and the doctor put me on Keflex. I am nervous about taking an antibiotic, but the nurse said it was better than running a high fever. I already feel 100% better.

.Definitely get a swab done. Strep is nothing to mess around with. If untreated it can lead to scarlet fever.
