See your OB: I hope you had your flu vaccine ! you and your baby need to be checked when you are ill. It is typical that after checking the baby's heart rate, you are sent to the er for a medical condition such as yours. If you are infectious, it is not good for you to be near other pregnant patients until you have been evaluated.
