I didn't go with the guys to the cemetery because I was sick in bed with a new cold, having just a week ago gotten over the last one that lasted six to eight weeks (because pregnancy suppresses the immune system). Please pray that our little family is free of all colds when the baby arrives because what is an inconvenient virus in a bigger person is really awful and somewhat dangerous in a newborn!
Katherine, I will be praying for you to feel better. Thanks for the nice pics of John. And I hope to see you soon. love, mom

Katherine, if the cold is in the early stages you should consider a few doses of oil of oregano. Dave and I have been taking this at the start of colds since the beginning of our marriage and we seldom (like 1-2x/year if that) get any cold symptoms that last more than 36 hours.
ReplyDeleteAlso you might want to take echinacea regularly the last few weeks of pg, not only does it help fight the colds but it also knocks out any GBS which could put a crimp in your labor plans.
Check with your midwife but I have done both of these when pg with great results. I hope you feel better!!!
I hope you feel better! Sarah Faith has good advice, nothing to add there! Oh, have you ever used a Neti Pot? Supposed to work wonders. I haven't found one locally yet.
ReplyDeleteA round of colds and sinus infections just went through our house. Everyone was affected except the baby! Praise God for nursing!
Oh my, I hope you are feeling better soon!
