38 Weeks

Pure misery!

I woke up Monday morning with a terrible cold!  Everything on my head hurts right now, even my hair for some reason.  I can't take the pharmaceuticals I'm used to for symptom management so hot showers, vitamins, herbal supplements and acupuncture (I luckily already had an appointment to see her yesterday at noon).  Sleeping helps too so I'll be trying that as much as possible.  I thought I would make it through the pregnancy without getting sick - I was so close!  I also really don't want to go into labor while ill, which I don't think will be an issue at this time.  Baby is still moving around a lot and I have a check up tomorrow with the midwife.

Oh no...I had a horrible head cold last week. Used a nasal rinse once a day so that I could breath for a minute, slept a lot and too many hot showers. All I wanted was a decongestant and none are approved. Good luck!
