Not very fun. I have a head cold, and while that's probably not the worst thing that I could come down with, the past few days have been hell. Sinus headaches and aching sinuses and a runny yet stuffed up nose and not breathing well (especially in my sleep) and achy joints plus super tender skin (not to mention breasts) have all made me cranky to say the least. Not to mention the million other things I have on my plate right now. I'm surprised, however, that I have been able to sleep relatively normally the past few nights. I think it's because I've ditched the "trying to stay sleeping on my left side" for shifting positions again. Although I am a stomach sleeper, so I'm still not very comfortable... I'm sure it's only going to get worse before it gets better, lol. I've been told that I can take Tylenol and Sudafed, but I'm just so afraid of taking anything during the first trimester.. so afraid that during this most crucial developmental time, I'll take something and it will hurt my baby. I couldn't live with myself if that happened...
So I'm stuck being sick and pregnant. And I know I'm not alone, that many if not every mother has gone through this at some point. I just wish I could do something about it.
