Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
Even if you were not pregnant, I would have you go to the ER. This would the recommendation for anyone where there is concern about your airway and ability, or not, to swallow. While this likely represents strep throat, you need to get checked out as soon as possible.
I hope that this helps and good luck!
