Words of Wisdom?
Any words of wisdom for a pregnant girl who's home sick today with the cold of the century (and can't take good drugs)? So far, I've found some very minor relief through my own concoction of boiling water + lemon juice + honey. Not really the same as triple-dosing on some really good cold/flu pills and sleeping the day away :)I'm counting down the minutes until my doctor's office opens at 9 am, but trying not to *expect* him to be useful...

Nothing, but sleep. I had a nasty cold for 3 weeks when I was prego. Such a pain.

Here's hoping your doc can give you something for at least a little relief.
I had a cold that had me coughing so bad I somehow hurt my chest - I was in tears every time I coughed it was so painful. I was shocked and incredibly grateful when he gave me a cough suppresant that was totally safe for baby.
It wasn't super strong or anything, but it allowed me to feel some relief from the cough and get some much needed rest.
Iwondered where you were hiding. The cold virus that seems to making it'[s rounds these days is vicious - hopefully your doc can help you.
What a bummer): I was hoping you would avoid that. My doctor gave me Actifed but that was years ago and at the end of my pregnancy when I lost my voice and was coughing lots.
Your remedy sounds helpful but time is the most healing unfortunately.
Thanks, ladies :)
I have an appointment at 2 pm today, just to rule out strepthroat or anything 'treatable' by something other than time and lots of fluids.
In the meantime, though, I'm freaking out because my mom starts chemo in a week - and if I'm not healthy, I won't be able to see her...
Here's a few...chew vitamin C, slather on the vapo-rub, use saline nose spray for your clogged nose. Other than that just sleep.
Words of wisdome, eh? How about:
"What's doesn't kill you makes you stronger?"
