Sick and Pregnant-BLAH!

mixedqt21mixedqt21 member
in February 2012 Moms
Being sick and pregnant is terrible :( Anyone have any remedies that help??  I don't get sick often because usually when I feel it coming on I have my tea with lemon and honey, lots of OJ and it's usually gone by the end of the day.  This isn't working and I don't want to kill my sick leave that I need when LO comes, but I don't think I could drag myself back to work with how I'm feeling.

    No great remedy... just wanted to say I was there and it was no fun.  I couldn't help feel like it was terribly unfair. Made me a grumpy lady to be around :)  take the day off and watch movies that make you smile.  That helped me ;)

    In the same boat. Had to stay home from work today - no fun. I am just trying to get lots of rest and hope I get better fast - I have my first shower this weekend.

    I think the worst part is the terrible headache that I have and there's nothing I can take to make me feel better :( I have been on my couch all day and will probably be here all day tomorrow.

    I'm sick too :( Terrible sinus and ear infection. Can't stop sneezing and coughing and sniffling and my ear canals itch. It does seem unfair!

    Me too! It sucks. I've been using breathe right strips and chugging water.

    I've had a cold for 2 weeks! I unfortunately don't have any long-lasting remedies, but there are a few things you can do to help temporarily. Doc said I can take sudafed and tylenol. Thankfully the sudafed pills are small, but my throat is so sore and swollen that I can't swallow normal sized tylenol, so I bought childrens liquid tylenol :P (grape is the best so far lol). Tea with honey and lemon is awesome, but I can't be drinking it all the time at work (work in a credit union, no food/drinks allowed in the lobby... ) and I found Burt's Bee's brand throat drops with honey and lemon -they're yummy! Also, cepacol (spelling) throat drops helps soothe my ever stuffy nose. I keep most of this stuff in my purse, I feel like I own a pharmacy! Oh, and drink tons of water!

    Oh, and a hint of you buy sudafed, don't  just get a 24 pack.That's what I did - thinking I'd be over the cold in a few days like usual. I didn't consider the fact that EVERYTHING is exaggerated when you're pregnant. I had to go back for more!
