AW: I am miserable.

Along with the all day nausea which decided to come back, I now have a horrendous chest cold. I was up all night long tossing and turning because of course I cant breathe. And the coughing puts me perilously close to throwing up all day long. Which I have already done once this morning.

 

Someone tell me this kid will be worth it. Because right now I am not feeling it. 

 

I hope this doesnt offend anyone, I know how blessed I truly am. But sometimes its hard to see the forest for the trees. And all I want to do right now is cry.

    It'll be worth it.  Try and get some rest if you can and try to clear up the congestion as easy as possible.  Maybe get a steamy shower running for a few minutes with the door closed and then step in and turn the water down to comfortable.  And at least if you get sick you won't have to worry about making a mess.  I hope you feel better soon.  And I would hope no one would be offended that you don't feel well.

    Oh yeah.  You'll see it!  You may even forget completely how miserable you were eventually.  DH is always reminding me of things I complained about while pregnant and I always think, "Really!?  Huh.  Yeah, I guess my heartburn was pretty killer.  I forgot about that." lol

    I do believe that every pregnant woman feels that way at some point or another.  Especially when thinking about delivery (for me).  LOL

    But yes :D  It all fades away and you are left with a beautiful angel and you think "That blip of 9 mos (compared to a lifetime) was totally worth this."  :)

    sorry you're feeling miserable!  i was pretty unhappy last week during the worst of my cold and i wasn't even getting belly sick so i can only imagine.  in the end sudafed saved my life with my congestion.  i took it sparingly and wish i didn't need to but it's considered 'safe' and if all else fails there are some otc options for you if you need some help to get through the day.

    also make sure if you're working with kids that you go crazy with handwashing and maybe keep some antibacterial spray on you for in between washings.  i've always felt like i had the best immune system, never get sick etc, it only took one day with a snuffly toddler to get me sick with my pg immune system and i couldn't believe it.  but i'd hate for you to keep getting sick through the whole pg!!

    hope you feel better soon!!!

    I hope you feel better soon! It's hard to be sick on top of already feeling out of it from pregnancy.

    Thanks for the support. I am still feeling miserable. But the OB recommended I see my primary care physician to make sure its not the flu. I dont really think it is, but since I work at a school and some students have had flu-like symptoms I want to make sure. The good, but bad part of my substitute teaching job is that I see ALL the students in the school each week. So if any one of them is sick, I will have some sort of contact with them. I am trying to be vigilant about using antibacterial and need to pick up a big bottle for the kids to use. But I have been there for 6 weeks and this is the first time I have gotten sick. So hopefully it wont be a reoccuring problem.
