I always recommend going to the dr or to hosp. I wasn't feeling well a few wks ago, thought I was just tired and run down from work and being almost 7 months pregnant. Well after feeling like this for 3 wks, I started vomiting for 13hrs at home, And feeling very lethargic and weak. I called my Dr and rushed to the hosp. I ended up having a horrible kidney infection, the flu and pneumonia and was hospitalized for 9 days. They said I had probably been sick for over a month. I will never mess around again while not feeling well!!

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.
