VENT: I am tired of being sick
Hello all...
I just need to vent. I am 30 weeks pregnant. I am starting week 2 of being sick. I haven't had a decent night's sleep in days. Last week, I had a stomach bug. It lasted 2 days, and then it was over. Luckily, no one else seemed to be affected by it, which was good. My DH has been sick with a sore throat/ear infection for a week or so. He gave it to DD, and then I finally got it. DH and DD have been dealing okay with it, but then there are meds that they can take since they are not pregnant. I have been trying to get by with some Panadol (tylenol) and my anti-histaime. I take 1/2 of one in the morning and 1/2 at night. It does help... some... not a lot. Because my throat is killing me and I am all stopped up, sleeping is a nightmare. I fall asleep, and sleep for a hour or two at a time. I think I woke up about 5 times last night. After I wake up, it takes a while to find a comfortable position and then to go back to sleep. Only to have to do it all over again an hour or so later. I am so tired and I feel like crap. I keep getting sick in this pregnancy. Last one, I was healthy for almost all of it. That was one of the good things about it. I was in pain, but I wasn't sick. Now, I am sick, in pain and just exhausted. I am so looking forward to having the baby and getting well. 10 weeks just seems so long. -- Daye Momma to Jayan "Boy" EDD 11 Jan 2004 See Jayan: http://jayan.topcities.com/ |

And try to do fun things to get your mind of how you feel. {{{{{{{{Daye}}}}}}}}} -- -- I mommy to DS (15m) guardian of DH (32) War doesn't decide who's right, only who's left |

Since getting pregnant I have had allergies so bad that I am sneezing about 50 times a day, constantly dripping nose and sore eyes, it is like having a bad cold for 9 months straight !!! For me it's allergic rhinitis of pregnancy, just my luck... won't go away until baby is here! I am too nervous to take full doses of sudafed even though dr. says it's ok... too nervous to take more than 1 pill at a time and no more than 2 pills a day *on bad days*. I try to take no pills at all ever... which is ok on days I work because for some reason I AM ALLERGIC TO MY OWN APARTMENT !!!! being home on the weekends is a sickfest!!! I told DH that we were going to scour the apartment soon, vacuum everything and under everything, and spray down the entire house with that febreeze allergy stuff !!! |

I don't know about Australia but we have something here called Tylenol sore throat. It's basically liquid tylenol. It does great for sore throats and since its just tylenol (I'm pretty sure) it should be safe. You might check with your dr about it. Hope this helps.

Just wanted to commisserate with you - my DD (3.5) has had walking pneumonia for the past 2 weeks so she's been up in the night constantly with fever, coughing, then horrific hives...and now of course I'm totally sick, luckily with what appears to be just a cold, but still enough to keep me up hacking all night long for the past 5 nights straight. Today I finally went to the doc and said you have to give me *something* so I can sleep, I am non-functional. He gave me tylenol with codeine and so I'm looking forward to some sleep tonight. I'm 20 weeks, btw. Being sick while pregnant is the worst. cara |

Oh my god, it looks like you have exactly what I have. I am at 14 weeks. Have been havin greally bad allergies since the beginning(the weather her in the northeast is not helping) and I seem worse when i am at home! Maybe I have the same thing you do. I did not know there was something called "allergic rhinitis of pregnancy". The only good thing is i feel better when the temperatur falls below 60 deg F. Thanks for sharing that, makes me feel like I am not an alien or something having this strange condition which is how I felt. -- Vidya mom to Vandu(4) EDD May 6th '04 |

Have you checked your flat for mould? :-( Thanks... we've checked! Some of the apartments here which had been flooded (if the apartment above you overflows the washer, or one time a watermain broke) and the ones on the lower levels had been growing mold!! So we've kept our eye out, even though we're on the 2nd floor. I think it's just housedust and my cats... I haven't been as energetic since getting PG and slacked off a little in the housecleaning and DH has to be prodded with a cattle prod to do any vacuuming 8) But he did surprise me yesterday when I got home from work, he'd picked up and vacuumed! He didn't get everywhere or even at the edges of things but it has already made a big improvement in my sniffles. |
