Pregnant And Sick? Any Suggestions to Feel Better?
Posted: 09-25-06 08:18am

Been sick since friday , started out as a sore throat I figured from allergies but then ig ot a blocked nose , spent the whole night sneezing and couldnt breathe through my nose. Saturday my whole entire body hurt head to toe and my head is sooo congested sneezinf and runny nose and sunday samet hing I got tylenol cold/flu but all that seemed to do was take the pain andaches away and nothing else, now the sore throat is back and if eel like im losing my voice, is there anything else that actually works that you are allowed to take when your pregnant? Its hard being pregnant and sick and takin care of asick 1 yr old as well lol I just wanna feel better as soon as possible.

ahh, the dreaded pregnancy cold! I'm sorry to say there is nothing you can take that will take that away. Tylenol and sudafed are about it. And we all know how well those work.

Sore throat = gargle with salt water.
Stuffed up = hot steamy shower.

Good luck!

yeah, it is hard being everything to everyone while you are sick. Heck, it is hard being everything to everyone when you are well!

Take extra naps if you can.
