31 weeks and sick

This is the third or fourth time I have had a cold since getting pregnant. And of course I can't take any of the good stuff, lol. I just want to feel better...

Use essential oils to help ease your symptoms, doTERRA is my preference but I'm not sure what your familiarity with natural medicine is. I have had a respiratory infection, viral lung infection, a kidney infection, and a few minor colds and bouts of asthma during my pregnancy. DoTERRA is the only thing that helped me because antibiotics made me vomit. I recommend peppermint to ease any aches and pains, but be cautious around the breast as it can block your milk ducts, on gaurd for all your other symptoms. If using doTERRA you can inhale, ingest, and apply those 2 specific oils topically :)

A month or so ago, I had every sign of strep but they said it wasn't. I'm just sick of never being healthy. I want my eyes and nose to stop running. :(

I'm almost 36 wks & last wk had strep throat AND a sinus infection on top of a not so easy pregnancy, worst wk ever! I would suggest that on top of prenatals that you get some good probiotics from a health food store. Acidophilus is what I'm taking.
