    Ugh, being sick sucks! I'm just now getting over a cold but I still don't feel 100%. Pregnancy + sick = one unhappy me. I hope you feel better soon. Let's hope the warm Hawaiian air helps!

    Aw, that's exactly what I had/have. I'm not going to sugar coat it for you, it's one of the worst colds I've had in a long time. I am just feeling normal today - still blowing my nose and coughing a little bit - and it's been a full week. Last night was the first time I've slept through the night.

    It's a pretty rough cold, isn't it?!  I know tons of ppl who have had it, but it's 10 times worse while pregnant!  I hope you feel better soon.   Smile

    I'm just getting over this too, it was really bad for a day, but I think I managed to shorten it...

    I took tons of echinacea, in tincture form.  I also made a concoction of lemon, raw honey and garlic.  Took it a few times, 3 cloves of pressed garlic each time.  It was nasty, but I felt better immediately after.  Throat coat tea, riccola cough drops and and a homeopathic throat spray of propolis and echinacea.  Oh yeah, and a few packets of Immune Support Emergen-C.  

    I swear it helped, it hit x-mas even night and I started to feel better yesterday, the day after xmas. 

    Good luck!

    DH and I both have this.  I got sick first: felt very weak and achy Tues night, then full blown sick Xmas Eve.  The gunk has mostly cleared out of my head but left me with a sore throat....sleeping even worse than usual and pulled all my stomach muscles yesterday morning from throwing up/dry heaving! Good luck ladies-this one's a doozy.

    Good luck with this!  I am still suffering after a week of it and I agree, this has been one of the worst colds ever.  I missed all the Christmas festivities and we came home from the in-law's early because I was spending every day all day in bed.  My OB would only allow me to take Tylenol Cold and it was a joke -- he specifically said no herbal remedies but I did drink honey and ginger in hot water for my throat a few times and that helped immensely.  If you don't know already definitely call and get the list of OTC remedies your doctor will allow you to have.  And I hope this doesn't affect your vacation too much - Hawaii sounds amazing right now.
