Sick!!!

My wonderful husband was so generous and shared with me his cold he recently got over a week ago, and now I've got it.

Had to call off work today...normally I wouldn't but being sick while pregnant blows because you can't  (or try not to) take anything for it. I'm 9w now and I took 2 Tylenol earlier that did jack squat.

I think I'm in the same boat. I thought earlier it was allergies. But tonight, nope I'm feeling like a cold and I haven't had one in years! My dr's paper says I can take robitussin or mucinex, but really I need something with some oomph.

Ugh. Me too. I've got this wicked cough that sounds like a seal choking on a candy. What I wouldn't give for some sudafed.

So far this pregnancy I have had mono, an ear infection, a measles like rash caused from antibiotics, the common cold, and I just kicked the stomach flu. The list of ailments could go on forever. Ha. When I learned that I could not take Advil while pregnant I cried. Tylenol does nothing and I think I probably would have had better results letting hippies rub watered down herbs on me.

My hubby is generous like that too, gave me his cold HA! Luckily neither of us developed any fevers, and I just needed rest to get over the runny nose/sneezing/cough. You know what else is fun? Constipation with with occasional upset stomach to mix it up. Can't tell if latter is from pregnancy or food poisoning.

Hubby made me go to a Dr, confirmed sinus infection. Lucky me. I can now add antibiotics to my list of things to not throw up for the next few days.

Already beat a cold during my highest peak of nausea. Perfect. However, Tylenol, if taken consistently every 4 hours is actually pretty helpful for aches/pains. Benadryl is a pregnancy class B med and can be taken to help relieve some symptoms (will help dry u up).

I miss decongestants. But I took Benadryl and mucinex (without decongestant) and drank some lemon water and I'm feeling the best I've felt all day.

I spent ONE day with my five-year-old stepson and now I have my third pregnancy cold :-)

Joining you ladies here. Yesterday I was just so exhausted on top of nausea and this morning I woke up dizzy with my throat on fire. I hope everyone feels better soon!

I'm feeling better this morning, which means I can actually breathe out of both nostrils! Yay! Lol...I guess with most things it just needs time. Never did take anything for it. Happy about that.

This is day 3 for me, and I feel tons better. The first two full days were like allergic hell. You know that watery eye, burning sinus stuff? I kept on with the Benadryl and it barely touched it. Today I only feel like maybe it's turning to a sinus infection. So I'll keep on top of that.

My youngest has been coughing for a few days, and I woke up with a sore throat this morning.  Ugh.  Plus H left town for work last night, so I'm on my own :-(
