again with the plague
being sick whist pregnant CAN be done, but i wouldn’t recommend it. you have all of the standard sick ickiness, like runny nose, coughs, feeling cold while being sweaty, throwing the covers off because it’s 900 degrees all of a sudden, and that cough drop coating that only goes away with a very specific blend of gasoline and toothpaste. the silly part of being pregnant while sick is that your air is now not your own. i have to be able to breathe. i have to be able to breathe well and for long periods or baby gets restless. baby needs me to have oxygen and since i require now twice as much as a non-pregnant, non-sick person, my job is twice as hard.
everything i do makes me light-headed, everything.
i thought i kicked all this back in November, but i guess not. i just hope it doesn’t hang around very long.
