Sick while pregnant

Getting sick stinks no matter when it happens.  But getting sick while pregnant is scary.  I have been getting sick over the last several days.  Sore throat, chills, aches, dizziness, cough and congestion. I called my dr and they gave me some meds to take.  I was trying to recover without taking anything.  I don't want to give baby Lipp anything more than I have to.  Even though things have been tested and checked by doctors it still makes me nervous.   So day 1 of meds... Feeling about 10% better but have a long way to go.
