Ugh I'm dealing with the insomnia now too. Takes forever to fall asleep initially and then I'll wake up sometime between 2-4 am and will be awake for at least an hour before I can fall asleep again.
@Xstatic3333 Today I'm actually doing better. I was able to get my son up and to school with only three contractions, which is a huge improvement. Hopefully it lasts! THank you for checking on me!
@jlellis603 if you still aren't feeling okay, I called my doctor yesterday and talked to the on-site nurse. She said any cough drops were okay (I've been using Kroger brand honey lemon).
Also, in case anyone else has a cold that their DH brought home...she said Tylenol, Sudafed (but only straight Sudafed, not like Advil Cold & Sinus that has several meds in it) is okay because I'm nearly 28 weeks (I assume the only problem is during first tri accordding to Dr. Google). I got Kroger brand 12 hour. I feel so much better today. Also: gargle warm salt water. My throat feels a million times better today.

Thank you! I heard only Halls cough drops and I also heard any are fine. It seemed like there were only meds that treated colds and didn't prevent them, kinda. Like Mucinex and Robitussin are okay but I wouldn't take those until I had those symptoms already. I do have straight Sudafed so that is good to know!
Zicam has these nasal swabs that actually helped me get rid of nasal congestion during a cold a few weeks ago...and a netti pot I think helped me get over it quicker.
On the note of colds and sore throats, my Bradley instructor mentioned that if she gets a sore throat, she opens a probiotic capsule and holds it in her mouth for a few minutes. It sounds super gross to me, but she said something about the good bacteria makes the throat pain go away more quickly. I have not tried this, but figured I would pass along in case some other brave soul wants to try it.
It is scary how much OBs differ. Mine says no medicine with the decongestant phenylephrine in it...Which is pretty much everything on that approved list.
It's so strange how different each practice is. When I had a nasty cough and cold, i was told that cough drops were fine but to stay away from decongestants and to try hot water with honey and lemon. Also to take basic Tylenol if needed.
I had gone to the drug store before seeing the doctor and the pharmacist told me the same thing.

Ah it's so strange and almost scary how much every office differs. How do you know what is actually correct? I guess just playing on the safe side and sticking to cough drops, pineapple juice/OJ, and hot water with honey will have to do. Oh and obviously the magical chicken noodle soup
@foxrosy, definitely keep track and don't be afraid to call your doctor. I had a lot of early contractions and the advice was to lay down as much as possible, try to decrease trips up and down the steps and drink a lot of water. I ended up being on a medicine called Proscardia I think that was to prevent them.

My main change this week is that baby is rocking and rolling in there. We can see kicks from the outside sometimes, and they are real sit up and notice kicks compared to a week ago!

I think I might have a varicose vein in my lady bits. I am not 100% sure, i asked my MW if it was going to be a problem and she said probably not. Then she asked if I wanted her to examine it. Uh, nope I am good. If there is nothing I can do and its not a problem then I will just live with it for now, thanks!
Still feeling exhausted all the damn time. HGB, RBC, and HCT all went down somehow. Not drastically, but WTF.

So I mentioned before the pregnancy tumor I had on my gums. It got really bad this week, like I couldn't eat without getting blood on my food from it bleeding bad. So I went to the dentist and they were able to laser the bad tissue off. They numbed my gums around the area so I didn't feel anything. It is pretty sore now and I just have Tylenol to help.
Question, the pharmacist told me to just take 1 Tylenol pill where the bottle says to take 2 for adults. For people who have taken Tylenol are you taking the normal dose or half the dose?

Regular extra strenggth Tylenol ??? I always take one and then add a second on the next dose if the first dose didn't work.

I was told a regular dosage (1-2 pills)
Yea it's just the regular 325mg. The pain is a lot less this morning so I might just skip it entirely today.

I still have a lot to catch up on all of the threads this week. I apologize if someone already asked my question here. ... Has anybody's nausea come back? They said it could come back in 3rd tri but omg, it's sseriously like clock work for me.
@Starfish113 my dr said no more than 4 or 5 within an hour. But I was having them one right after another anyway. She told me to take a warm bath, drink an entire glass of water, and lie on my side and wait to see if they stop before calling. She told me I just had a hyperactive uterus and that it wasn't labor, but it shouldn't be happening so she gave me an extra calcium supplement and that has stopped them.

Okay thank you!!! I've had them more than that but I've been on my feet all day helping DH move stuff around to make the nursery! I'm gonna take a shower and sit now and see how I do
@peachesnbean a cold pack on your lady bits helps a lot. Also elevation of your legs/hips. I have a varicose vein down there and it flared terribly in 2nd tri. It's eased as baby as shifted up for me...but I'm sure it will be back when baby drops lower.
