Bleh I have a cold

in Pregnant after 35
Seriously annoying... Nothing worse than getting sick in the summer. Well actually, getting sick in the summer WHILE pregnant and WHILE having a crazy toddler around who looks like she might also be coming down with the same thing... Because it never fails - if one of us gets something the other one always gets it too..

How is everybody else holding up?

    I am all nasally right now. And not the normal sinus crud you have while pregnant.

    I have been fighting a cold for three weeks. It has not been full fledged just sneezing from time to time and constant nasal congestion. It is just enough to be annoying. My OB said colds are going around and to take something if you need it. There are quite a few cold medicines you can take, just not advil or anything with ibuprofen. I am sure your OB can recommend something that will get you through if it gets bad. Good luck.

    Well I'e been taking Tylenol and chugging tea with honey and lemon like a mad woman. Normally i'd be taking tons of dayquill or theraflu which I think are a no-no now... I should prob check on that.
    Ughh, last time I was prego in the midst of the flu season AND living in a big city and using public transport daily and I didn't get sick once. Not so when you have a little kid around...

    yea @harmonicbabe...no "cold meds" while preggo (at least that's what I was told) - I was lucky (unlucky?) I got sick with 3 week old infants at home at the end of winter (in NE) UGH

    but at least I could take some good dope.

    I feel your pain...hope you fight it off!! Matzo ball soup and OJ

    I agree summer colds suck.  Hope you are feeling better soon/now. I'm late to this thread.

    My cold is back. Just praying it hasn't turned into a sinus infection.

    Is it getting any better @mandyreads?  I think I've just joined the cold club too.
