Crappy Feeling!! BLAH

DezignedByFaithDezignedByFaith member
in Pregnant after 35
I have a head cold and it's draining to my stomach making me sick. On top of that, I'm having contractions, but I'm so frustrated from the stuffiness and other cold symptoms, that I can't seem to keep up with how far the contractions are. My stomach is crampy and my vaginal area has a burning sensation at times. I can barely walk. I'm just feeling as if a mack truck has hit me. I feel so helpless right now.

    Oh no that is awful!  Feel better.  If you own one I would suggest using a netti pot it can help clear out some of the gunk in your nose and help with the post nasal drip. Hope you feel better soon.

    Thanks. Don't have one of those. I'm hoping this will soon pass. I'm just drinking warm decaf tea with honey and lemon, and I'm eating soup.

    Do you have any herbal tea with ginger? That may help both the icky feeling and your immune system. You might also take a Benadryl tonight to help you sleep. That's what I would do. Sorry you're feeling so crappy, hope it eases up quickly!

    Thanks. I have high blood pressure so I can't have Benadryl, only Coricidan(spell check). I'm using saline solution too as well as warm compresses for my face and Tylenol for the pain. I'm drinking ginger ale for my yucky stomach too. I've just been in bed and only get up for the bathroom or to eat/drink. I do have ginger though, so I'll have some of that later. First time I've ever really been sick and pregnant.

    I just got over a bad headcold. Had it thru labor. No fun. But I too recommend netti pot or rather a saline rinse. ( I have a weird fear of netti pot lol so I got a rinse bottle thing from a rite aid. It felt WONDERFUL and gave me at least enough relief that I could get at least a little rest at night! Hope you feel better super fast though!!

    Head cold during labor? I know that wasn't fun. I've been able to blow my nose but it's weird how a nostril can be stuffy but stuffy: LOL!!! Well I've just been in bed and everyone has been taking care of me. And thanks. I'm hoping I feel better soon myself.
