Sick and pregnant

[ValerieValley]

I've gone this entire pregnancy without getting sick and am now 34 weeks and either have strep throat or a super bad cold or maybe a flu. I'm waiting for the swab confirmation to return. Has anyone else had to deal with being really sick later on in pregnancy and have any advise??

ugh I'm still sick, oh and tired of blowing my nose and coughing this time it's really trying  my nerves

[ValerieValley]

So you're not alone! Hope you feel better

I was really sick for 6 days then started getting better but my nose stayed congested up until a couple days ago, so for about 2 weeks

Well it's been a week and I'm still sick......the cough is horrible,and i feel like every time icough i break this baby....i just want to feel good!;-)

[ValerieValley]

I know! It fel horrible, my baby girl would get upset when er I would sneeze and cough. I hope you get better soon! I'm doing better now, just a bit congested still.

I was sick twice back to back. First, with a severe chest, sinus and ear infection and once I was over that I promptly got the stomach flu and had to be hooked up to an IV because of dehydration. Get lots of rest and fluids. Good luck :-)
