Pregnant and sick with a cold

Hey y'all, I just got sick (congested, body aches, headache and fever) and it feels like I can't do anything or take anything. Any recommendations? #feelingmiserable #feelingalone

    It depends on how far along you are but there are some medications that are safe. Reach out to your medical provider and they can give you some suggestions

    Fluids are a must. Electrolytes are your friend. Shower steamers always help me. Or even just eucalyptus oil dropped into a steaming hot shower. Breathing that in helps decongest. Vicks on your feet with socks on will help if it turns into a cough, otherwise vicks on as usual works. The vicks in the humidifier can help too. I also like a good tea, add in Gordolobo, ginger and turmeric and that should help decongest as well.  Up the vitamin C intake. I like to take a zinc magnesium combo when I'm ill too. Of course check with doc. But these are my go tos.
