I cannot get sick

for my shower on sunday! I know it's only wednesday but yesterday and today i have started feeling really crappy. my throat kills me most of the night and i have a cough. I was up from 2:30am-4am unable to sleep bc of it.I'm loading up on OJ, gargling with salt and sucking on cough drops. My OB's over the counter list says i can take Tylenol Cold but I am really trying to stay away from any medicine! :( NOOOOO This can't happen, i've been so healthy all fall/winter.... especially since quitting smoking... usually by now i would have had bronchitis at least once.

Re: I cannot get sick

  • I got sick towards the end of my pregnancy too.  It sucks.

    It won't hurt to take Tyenol Cold, and you will feel SO much better.  I took Tylenol and Tylenol PM at one point like it was candy.

    You won't get a medal for suffering.  Take the meds since your doc says it's okay!!  Good luck and I hope you get better soon!

  • Ask her if you can take Airborne, Vitamin C or Zinc vitamins.  Those normally help make a cold go away.
  • booo for getting sick!!

    I agree with Elisa, take the meds if your doc says you can! You will feel so much better!

    and I know what you mean about being healthier since quitting smoking I totally would have already had bronchitis too and I don't miss that at all!

    Airborne is not approved for pregnancy because of the high levels of vitamins (I think especially the vitamin A). 

    I agree with Elisa- take the approved medicines.

  • I agree with the girls. How often will you get a baby shower?! Get better for it! If the dr says its ok, go for it... just this one.

  • Don't be a sissy.  Take the Tylenol Cold.  You will feel so much better !!! Besides its not like you've been popping them every other hour for 7 months.

  • This might sound ridiculous, and i never tried it, but my cousin says it works. Put some vaporub on your feet and put on some socks before you go to sleep. It doesnt hurt to try!
