Why Me? Why Now?
Can you believe I have been pregnant for 8 full months (257 days), and now I am sick? It is probably just sinus congestion, but it was terrible on Wednesday after work and made me stay home the next day. The doctor said today that if I want to I can take some over the counter meds, but not this lady. I'm going all the way to D-day with no medications. Emily is going to be chemical free for as long as possible.

You should check out a neti-pot. It saved me when I was sick in October. I use it every day even though I feel great. It is all natural too - no meds! I picked up one (the squeeze bottle type) at Wal-mart but you can get them at any pharmacy or grocery store. They cost about $8 for the bottle and 50 packets of rinse. My mom uses one and hasn't caught the sickies from the kids she teaches at school in over three years! I highly recommend it and like I said, it is all natural!
ReplyDeleteRachel, we have one. It is the one that looks like a tea pot. Hubby uses it when he is sick, but said it didn't help him this last time. I was going to use it the other day, but hubby read that you shouldn't use it when your ears are clogged. I had that symptom. I really don't get sick like this but once a year if that. I was a breastfed baby though =). After all the hype in my breastfeeding class, I had to mention that. I'll give the Neti-pot a try soon. Thanks for the tip!! P.S. Can't believe you are in your last month...whoo hoo!!!
