Hi ladies-
Just wanted to pass on that I have had a bad cold for the last 4 days and it has been horrible! Take care of yourselves and KEEP YOUR SPACE from anyone around who might have the sniffles. I work with teenagers who bring all kinds of nastiness back to the building each day, and thought I was doing a good job washing hands and keeping them away from me and the rest of our clients/staff. Whap! It got me
Dr. said all I could use was saline nasal spray and Tylenol. Finally they said to stop those and switch to Afrin, a spray with meds in it to help with congestion. I also got some Vicks's. Not Sure it helped, but it feels good
Anyway, just a reminder that little sick bigs are going around, and the experience is much different than if we weren't pregnant. Good luck to everyone throughout the winter!
Re: Sick and preg...Don't wish this for any of you!
If congestion is an issue I highly rec. one of these:

They look ridiculous and it takes some getting used to, but they totally work and have no meds. I had major sinus congestion in my pregnancy (especially in the end) and this helped a lot. GL!

I totally agree! The Neti-pot is the best! Maybe it's because there are A LOT of naturalist around here, but the neti-pot is a definite hit!
I hope you feel better soon!
