A cold already?!

Labor Day is over so I guess it's time for cold and flu season to begin. I felt fine this morning but as the day has gone on I've developed post nasal drip, sore throat and congestion. I HATE being sick while pregnant. Ugh. Anyone else ringing out the summer this way?

Re: A cold already?!

  • Unfortunately I have had a stuffed nose accompanied by sneezing since July when I got pregnant!  Really hoping I don't get something worse later on.

  • Me :(  My head is going to explode, my throat is killing me and the backs of my ears itch supa bad.  Lost 6 pounds in two days.  I haven't found anything to help either.  I hope you get to feeling better soon though :)
  • I had it earlier in my pregnancy. It was not fun, but robitussin helped.

  • Me too...but mine turned into a sinus infection. Just took my first round of antibiotics. I've been miserable for over a week now. My dr said that if you feel like that for a week, antibiotics are worth a look at (if its an infection at least)
  • I'm dealing with congestion and itchy/scratcy throat. i had a sore throat a couple of days ago, normally I suck it up and deal with it but I'm acting more like my husband when he's sick lol X_X
  • I hope u all feel better soon!! My congestion continues to get worse as the night goes on...not helping the gagging reflex I've been battling all of 1st tri. Ugh. And I think the runny nose isn't far behind. Gross.

  • I've had a cold since Saturday.  Spent all weekend in bed alternating between sneezing, sleeping, coughing and all the while still being nauseous.  
  • I've been sick for over a week!  I picked up something visiting my grandmother at the hospital last weekend and was laid out the entire labor day weekend!  Feels like a sinus infection/chest cold.... I've managed to hold off taking any meds, but I've been miserable :( I've just tried to sleep it off and hope my lackluster immune system gets it together!
  • Me too!! It's awful! Nothing seems to help, I thought all I wanted to do was crawl into bed before... But at the end of the work day, this cold is kicking my butt!!
  • I had a truly horrible cold when I was 5 weeks pregnant. Body aches, severe headache, ridiculous congestion, etc. that lasted at least 2 weeks. On top of pregnancy exhaustion. Hope yours passes quickly!

  • I just started with the post nasal drip and scratchy throat. I am horrified. I normally Benadryl and Sudafed the crap out of myself and sleep the week away when I have a cold. This is going to be awful.

  • There is a cold going around here as well. I'm trying my hardest not to get it but feel like it's coming on:( good luck all.
  • OMG. How are you ladies dealing with this?! The only way I could fall asleep last night wa with a humidifier blowing directly on me. But my little nose hairs collected so much moisture I'd wake up 3 minutes later because my nose was so itchy! And you know how everything seems scarier in the middle of the night? I was so stuffed I started worrying that I wast getting enough oxygen down to baby. Ack!
