Shower "vent"

in 3rd Trimester

So, my shower got canceled at 36 weeks due to a blizzard. Its rescheduled for tomorrow. I will be a day shy of 39 weeks.

I have had the WORST head cold since Tuesday, and it moved into my chest last night. I have been taking every kind of approved drug known to man, and no improvement. And of course my doc is closed today. I don't want to go to Urgent Care because the copay is ridiculous.

But I really want to be able to enjoy my shower, and not cough like I smoke 2 packs a day.

UGH!!!

    Have you tried steaming yourself in the bathroom with a hot shower and using a humidifier?  That might get you cleared out enough to enjoy the shower!  I hope you feel better!!!

    Are you going to have cake at the shower?  Do you know what kind if so?  Sorry, had to ask!

    Have the vicks vaporizer, humidifier, and hot shower thing down to a solid routine. Nothing is helping.

    I am having cupcakes, but no idea what flavor. Hopefully not chocolate, since everyone knows its not my thing! :)

    Oh, it sucks when you've tried EVERYTHING and nothing is working!  Maybe it'll go away like magic over the night and you'll feel like a million bucks tomorrow!  Eat a cupcake for me!

    I know you said you tried the shower and humidifier, but what I found to work even better was to boil a pot of water and then sit with my head hanging over it and a towel over my head for at least 15 minutes.  I also recommend a Neti Pot, but that will only help your nose/sinuses, not your chest.  GL!

    that sucks. I hope you feel better.  I was sick at my shower with a cold.  Get a good nights sleep and drink lots of liquids and hopefully you will feel better.

    I think you should try a claritin-d or a zyrtex-d. They are safe to use during pregnancy and clear up the stuffiness and congestion. It has to have the D in the name because that is for decongestion otherwise you are just taking a benadryl. I swear it makes a HUGE difference in breathing even when you just have a cold.
