I came down with a nasty cold/possible sinus infection this weekend. Add this to my newly returned all-day-sickness and I literally don't want to do anything but lay on the floor all day.
So what am I doing today? I'm at work because my company has a policy that basically says you have to be in the hospital in order to take any sick time this week. I may go sneeze/cough around my manager so he'll tell me to go home... ![]()
Any ideas on how to cope with a cold/sinus infection while pregnant? I have a list of meds from my doctor that are approved, but for some reason I'm still hesitant to use them.
Re: sick! booooo...
Yuck, I hate sinus colds. You can use the Netti Pot and usually Sudafed and Tylenol. Hope you get to feeling better soon.

That sucks
Get well!
I second the Netipot. I wish I would have had one when I was pregnant.
I also did steam showers where I would turn on the hot water all the way and didn't let it touch me, but that steam felt sooooo good.
It's the worst to be pregnant and sick like that because there's not much you can take =(
