Sick and pregnant....not a good mix!

I was fine all weekend. I saw friends, relaxed, got plenty of sleep and whamo, woke up this morning with such a sore throat and my ears plugged up and now congestion is starting. Being sick and pregnant S U C K S!!! I already called my Dr and they only recommended Robitussin, but not the CF/DM stuff, so that won't help me.

I'm resting and drinking lots of fluids. What else can I do? I hate being sick!

I always like to try to boost my green tea intake for the antioxidants.

Hope you feel better!

Umm... I'd better not get sick now!!

LOL, you can try the saline drops for congestion, tylenol for the sore throat. And get as much sleep as you can!

It totally sucks being sick!

I am sick too. The neti pot is the only thing getting me through the days of runny noses and congestion!
