Well my cough never really went away but it did get a lot better for awhile... now it's getting worse again and my nose is getting stuffy again and today I have a sinus headache, and my throat hurts. I have had one long string of colds since October and I am going out of my mind! I usually get sick a lot but I have never been sick as much as I have this winter. I was really hoping that I was done with being sick for awhile and now that I feel it coming back I just want to crawl into a hole and cry.
WHEN IS THIS GOING TO END???!

But I have bad allergies and that dont help either

GavinsMommy replied: That happens to me whenever I get sick (not often), but when it gets worse again, it usually goes away soon after that. Remember you're pg and more vulnerable...

Hope you get to feeling better!!!

PascosGirl replied: You are probably reinfecting yourself with your toothbrush. Either throw it away or soak it in some rubbing alcohol.

You know it's stupid but I never thought about that.... I'll have to start doing that if anyone in the family gets sick. Thanks!


Sara, I hope you feel better again soon!

Kaitlin'smom replied: awww i hope you feel better soon, I am also sick so I know how you feel

Josie83 replied: I'm sorry to hear that you're still poorly Sara to you xx

~Roo'sMama~ replied:
I thought of that... but i have a sonicare toothbrush and it costs too much to keep buying new replacement heads before the 6 months is up so I can't just throw it out and rubbing alcohol just sounds icky. Do you think soaking it in listerine would help? It does have alcohol in it.

PascosGirl replied:
It may help. However, to sterilize something it needs to be a certain percentage of alcohol you can rinse it out good before you use it. I promise, it won't hurt!

A&A'smommy replied: When you have the baby have you read what to expect when your expecting? they will tell you that your immune system is lowered because of pregnancy so its easier to get sick plus the belly doesn't help the sinuses. My sinuses were stopped up that whole third trimester of my pregnancy. ((((((HUGS))))) i feel for you it SUCKS being sick!!

Mandasmomma replied: I have to tell you - i also do the toothbrush thing - and this time when I got sick it was kinda quick - and I chalked it up to allergies, well....a couple weeks later, bronchial pneumonia and 2 z-packs, I realized that I never threw my toothbrush out and switched - IT IS WELL WORTH IT!!

I haven't done the alcohol thing - I would rather just buy another.

MommyToAshley replied: I am sorry you are so under the weather!

DH and I were sick not too long ago, and I swear it lasted at least a month. I don't know how Ashley managed to stay healthy with both of us sick. There is definitely something going around... I hope you kick this bug and it stays away!

PascosGirl replied:
Yeah, I would just buy another as well.
