Is there anyone who is/has experienced a bad COLD and COUGH during their pregnancy ?

Q: Hey everyone,although Im 7 months pegnant, this question is not from me, but my friend who is currently 5 months pregnant.She would like to know if colds and bad coughs are common among pregnant woman because she’s had a really bad cold and cough for the past 2 1/2 months now!!We live in South Italy, and it’s not that cold here, but she managed to get a really bad cold. She can’t taste or smell anything, and she continously keeps coughing …especially throughout the night!!She has tried every home remedy, but nothing seems to work. Doctors tell her that its best that she doesnt take any medicine, although the doctor prescribed her BILSOLVON only to take daily….about 10 drops a day.Anyways, it seems like it isnt working for her, and she is quite worried. She is beggining to think she has a desease or something, lol. Her QUESTION: Is there any other woman out there who has experienced this throughout their pregnancy?Her other question is: How long did it take for your cold and cough to go away? Did it take you months?? Cause she still has it….

A: I’m 38 wks preg and have gotten the flu abt 5 times since I got pregnant. My flu is always really really bad (nasal congestion, runny nose, redness, soar throat,blocked ears, headache) and it never stayed with me for less than 2 weeks. I did not take any medications either but that’s because I knew it wont do a thing for me as it did not change anything b4 when I got the flu b4 being pregnant cuz I have a very weak immune system. She needs not to worry too much abt it cuz a pregnant woman’s immune system become even weaker when preg so she gets more vulnerable to viruses. I know it can be horrible being pregnant and having cold at the same time so I do wish her luck.

Stress induced Labor…Help?

Q: I’m afraid I might go into labor due to the amounts of stress I havfe at one time. Seeing as other pregnant women can understand my patience has gone from a 10 to a 2 since falling pregnant.Everytime I am pregnant my tolerance level drops and I get stressed way easier than before. Ok here it is,I am 29 wks pregnant,I have 3 daughters(aged 5 yrs,2yrs,1yr) and like any other kids they test their limits which really doesn’t bother me because when they are told to behave they usually do. Every once in a while they really act out and not to mention how hateful my youngest is because more of her teeth are coming in so besides tryin to make myself comfortable,I am also tryin to get her as comfortable as possible. Plus all 3 daughters are sick and I have one of those nagging coughs that just won’t quit which also irritates me. Recently my husband and I got accepted into college so he is gone from 6:00 a.m. – 10:30 p.m. (work and school) but before we got accepted he wanted to get a dog and the agreement was if he got a dog(since I wasn’t up to an animal at the current time) he was to take care of it.That is the ONLY thing I asked of him seeing as I take care of the kids and housework and everything else since he works(which again was no problem I’ve done it since our first daughter was born,and before).It was all fine and dandy until we got accepted and we decided on he would do his classes first then I would go do mine when he finished(so we had someone here to watch our girls and plus I’d have to miss a good month of school when baby is born). Now at first I could handle the puppy,she was learning quick and does great with our girls,just a bit hyper but that is expected of puppies.Well 3 months later and the dog now being close to a yr old it has gotten out of control! She is ALWAYS hyper,she will NOT calm down,she has refused to even stay in the yard and has dug holes under the fence to get into the neighbors yard and eat trash,I have to chase her down to get her back in the yard/house,she jumps up on the kids and ends up scratching them,she bites when excited and has totally regressed in the house training situation.I’ve tried crate training her(which worked well with my other dog we had a few yrs back) and she has refused to be trained,she chases the kids down to get whatever they are eating…its just one thing after another.So the dog stresses me out to no frickin extent,and then since I’m already frustrated when my girls start acting out I kinda loose my temper so I walk out of the room to calm down,but it seems everytime this happens(which lately has been EVERYDAY) I start getting Braxton Hicks Contractions. I had them with my last daughter so I know what they are and I’m scared that if this keeps up I might go into labor.Hubby and I have discussed that the dog has to go but I refuse to take her to the pound(humane society) unless it is the absolute LAST option we have because they put dogs down that have ANY pitbull in them.Even though the dog nerves the crap out of me I could never do that knowing she would be put down the same day I took her… The contractions only seem to happen when I get this stressed and rather than doing what I usually do to calm down,I don’t know what else to do.I have 3 daughters so I can’t just slip into the tub and take a nice long bath anytime I want. I can’t stay in another room for a long time,and just to be clear the dog gets feed PLENTY so she is not hungry or starving so I dunno why she does what she does. Any suggestions on how to cope until I can give the dog to a good home would be GREATLY appreciated.I’m at my wits end here…It all starts with the dog so when I get stressed because of her I feel awful that I sometimes loose my temper with my daughters.I need help and suggestions…thanks so much and have a merry xmas =)Sorry for it being so long,I’m just tryin to let everyone who reads this know the whole story,and I’m not tryin to make it like I have it the worst in the world I can only imagine what some people are dealing with and sympathize with them

A: im sorry to say this, but since you obviousley cant get rid of a kid, you should get rid of the dog. also, ask someone like your mom or mother in law to come help you out just a couple of hours, youll feel much better.

can you read my essay?

Q: i asked this question a while ago and corrected a few mistakes the other essay had. please tell me what i need to correct or improve on, if you have time. thank you so much :] I was on the bathroom floor, curled up in a ball and crying my eyes out. The pain was excruciating, but that wasn’t the only reason I was crying. I knew I had just had a miscarriage. Women aren’t supposed to bleed when they’re pregnant, and I was bleeding. I felt around for my cell phone in the right pocket of my dirty basketball shorts I left lying on the ground. A cough drop, my chapstick, and finally, my phone. I held down the number two key and it started calling my boyfriend. I was still getting used to the fact that he lived just 15 minutes away from me. He had been living in Arizona since I met him, but moved in with his cousin when he found out that I was most likely pregnant. I desperately needed to talk to him. The phone rang and rang for what seemed an eternity. I was expecting to hear the answering machine, but then I heard a noise and a few seconds later, a mere, “Hold on.” I waited. Waited some more.My right hand was on the phone and I had the other pressured against my lower stomach. It seemed to ease the pain a little bit. It felt like I was having extremely painful menstrual cramps, times two. My whole body was tense, and I couldn’t loosen up even if I wanted to. I let out half a moan, but stopped myself from fear that somebody would hear me. Too late. I heard a knock on the door and then my mom’s voice. “Coral, are you okay? You’ve been taking a shower for over an hour.”Trying to sound like my cheery self, I giggled and said, “Yeah, I’m okay. I’m just shaving, but I’ll be done in a little bit.”I couldn’t let anybody know what had just happened. Pregnant at fifteen just isn’t cool.“Ooookaaay,” she replied, not sounding too convinced. I watched her footsteps leaving from underneath the door. The pain was starting to subside, so I sat up against the bathtub. I looked at the phone to see how long I had been on hold. 02:14. I thought to myself, “Hmmm. Valentine’s Day is 2/14. That’s in like two weeks. I wonder what I should get him. I think he said something about his cologne running out.”Just then I switched back to reality and was ashamed of myself. I was positive I had just lost my baby and there I was thinking about a stupid holiday. I hadn’t taken a pregnancy test or anything, but three months without a period is enough proof for me. I was actually getting excited about having a baby. My boyfriend had already started thinking about names, both for girls and boys even though he really wanted a son. He would tell me about his daydreams, which included everything from buying me pregnant lady clothes to playing with our baby at the park.I suddenly felt so guilty, as if it was my fault I lost my child. I had heard that pregnant ladies can’t take hot showers because it can “cook” the baby. I had also been really stressed out because of school, nonetheless the baby. I started thinking of all the possible reasons, and every single one was, in some way, my fault. I was angry at myself for something I really had no control over. I heard noise on the phone again and then that same familiar voice, “Sorry baby, I’m at work and the boss was talking to me. What happened?”“Oh nothing, I just wanted to tell you I loved you.”“Babe what’s wrong? You sound like you’ve been crying. Is everything okay?”I hesitated a moment. Should I tell him?“No I’m fine, I’m just sick. Well call me when you get out, I miss you,” I blew him a kiss and hung up.I just couldn’t seem to tell him over the phone. It had to be in person. I quickly texted him to stop by my house after he got off of work so that I could talk to him. I cleaned myself up, wrapped the towel around my body, gathered my clothes and hurried to my room so that nobody would see my red nose or swollen eyes. My head was throbbing and I was just really sleepy, so I put the alarm on my phone to 6:30 pm, put on my pj’s and drifted off to sleep. I remember dreaming about my cat getting lost, and then I woke up to the sound of the ringtone I had for my boyfriend, “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.” My heart began racing as I answered, knowing he was already outside waiting for me. I told him I would be right out as I slipped on my furry Betty Boop slippers. I ran outside and jumped into his car.“Oh my goodness, it’s freezing outside!” I said in a croaky voice. “I know and you sound like a man!” he said jokingly.He adjusted the seat so that it slid as far back as possible and made a hand motion, signaling me to sit down on his lap. I crawled over and got on top of him. I hugged him and sank my face into his chest. He was much bigger than me. I wasn’t fully awake yet, and I just wanted him to hold me forever right there in the driver’s seat. Somehow I was relieved that I wasn’t going to have a baby anymore. It had been an acaccident in the first place, and I had been dreading my family’s reaction to it, not to mention everyone at school. The thought of gaining weight and stretch marks made me get goose-bumps. All of a sudden, I didn’t have to worry about any of that anymore. Nonetheless, I still felt empty. Like a part of me had just disappeared forever.I looked at him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.“Baby, I have something to tell you.”“What is it? Does it have to do with the baby?”I stared at him, and my eyes began to water. I couldn’t respond. I didn’t have to. He squeezed me tight and began to cry. It’s amazing how someone we had never even seen or touched had that much of an impact on us. It was as if the baby had made us even closer to one another, but losing it made us both stronger. We still think about it to this day, but realize it was nothing I could’ve controlled, and possibly happened for the best.

A: I’ve read it and yeah, sometimes it feels comfortable enough just to be held and hugged. I remember the song “The smile on your faceLets me knowThat you need meThere’s a truthIn your eyesSaying you’ll never leave meThe touch of your hand saysYou’ll catch meWhenever I fallYou say it bestWhen you sayNothing at all”
