Thread: Home Sick

I have been fighting a head cold for about a week and it got worse this weekend. I couldn't get any of the congestion to move until Sunday afternoon and then I was a snotty sneezy mess. Sorry if TMI. I stayed home today to get some rest since DH works weekends (well he actually works everyday) and DS is at daycare. My cold feels better, but now I am puking again. I weighed myself and I am down 3lbs since Friday. That puts me under pre-pregnancy weight again :/

Anyone else not gaining?

I've gained 5 pounds so far.. can't say I've lost any. I'm sorry you're sick though, I hope you start feeling better soon girlie! Are you throwing up bc of your sickness or is it the pregnancy?

Awee I'm sorry you're feeling crappy I've gained about 12 total.. which I'm hoping is an indication that I'm NOT going to be on track for 65+ lbs this time! lol..

I hope the time off is quiet and gives you a chance to get the much needed rest for you to re-coup! It's no fun being pregnant and sick Tell DH to cook you some soup.

The puking is either pregnancy or because of all the phlegm. IDK which. I don't think it is gastro issues at least. Unfortunately DH is working a double today so he could have Thursday off for my appt, so no soup for me, lol. I heard from school that one other person was out sick and another one went home by lunch time. Our teachers are dropping quickly.

The flu is going around here :/ it's BAD! I hope that's not it for you. I just got the flu shot last Friday too.. but it takes like 2 weeks to take. Ahh.. I pray I don't get sick. 2 ladies in our office have had it and 2 in our maintenance department. Crazy.

Anyway, I hope it's the pregnancy. That'd be the best of the two. Oh and plus.. the more sick you are the more hCG you could have and that's a GOOD THING.. that could be your princess

I'm sorry your sick. thats no fun at all! Hopefully you can rest and feel better!

Well I am home again today. I still can't keep down food or liquids. I will call the doctor as soon as they open Apparently the other people at school do have stomach flu symptoms. I don't have diarrhea and they do, but my stomach is soooo upset. Blah.

I'm sorry, Christine.. that sucks. My little guy had that from a Sunday to Tuesday.. his tummy is still not up to par.

I so hear ya girl. I don't want to put on as much this time either. I'm not sure of the final count but I know I was over 200lbs last time. That was depressing for me. I've only gained 6 in total but 3 were the last 2 weeks, so it's ramping up. I'm at 159 now though so there IS a chance I could stay under 200! I started out weighing less than with DD so *fingers crossed*. I know it's healthy to gain SOME weight but let's not go overboard here!

I SO hear you! The phlegm gets to me. If I start trying to clear my throat of it I feel like I'm going to start gagging. Ugh!

So Sorry you're home again today, mama.. I really hope the Dr was able to help out with getting you back on a feel-good track!!
