Having a cold while pregnant?

Q: I need some new remedies please! xoI am over 4 months pregnant and I am getting really sick. Stuffy nose, sore throat, watery eyes that burn. I feel like I have to sneeze all the time. My appetite wasn’t even the best before I got sick because of morning sickness. I can’t eat anything anymore now that I’m pregnant. I thought it would of passed now that I am over 4 months, but uh it hasn’t! and now that I’m sick It’s worse. I’ve taken my prenatal and all that. Some days that I miss my prenatal I take just a Vitamin C time release Sunkist. Anyways I’ve been having soups for lunch and dinner, I drink lots of water. I eat veggies, but I feel I’m getting worse. I dislike being sick while pregnant! I need some new ideas on what to take, or do while being sick & pregnant.

A: Well, all of this could have to do with your pregnancy, but I’m not positive.You should just go see a doctor. You don’t want to risk the baby in any way.Like I’ve said before, it’s better to safe then sorry.

Please help me understand my ex-fiance’s behavior. I’m 8 months pregnant and he left me. I’m devastated!?

Q: I am 24 and he is 30. We have been together for a year and a half. He has a 6 year old daughter. We have had a kind of rocky relationship but we were very committed to eachother. We have lived together all but 3 months of that. He asked my Dad if he could marry me two months into our relationship. When we met I was still recovering from an eating disorder and he had just lost his house to foreclosure so we both had struggles. We met at our job. He worked crazy hours because he has split custody of his daughter. So we got a rental house and things were rocky but we loved eachother very much. We were fighting more and more but I didn’t know why. I blamed myself alot and always ended up apologizing to him. He never liked to address our problems. He met my family and they loved him. I met his and they were way different from mine.. pretty cold and unwelcoming. But it was okay. I always saw the good in him and he had a big heart. He had his troubles but I always saw the good side to him. And I loved how he had helped me in my recovery and showed me how to live my life as enjoyable as possible. I got pregnant and he seemed okay with it. I was happy though I wished we had waited until we were more stable. He went on a trip to Honduras with me and my extended family. He surprised me and asked my dad if he could marry me and proposed to me. I was so happy and surprised. When we got back we started fighting a lot. I now realize that it was how he talked to me. He wasn’t very nice to me. We had my ultrasound to see what we were having and it was a girl. He seemed to be kind of unhappy about that and stopped really acknowledging my pregnancy. He never once did anything to help me while I was pregnant. He would get on to me for doing the laundry wrong and for asking him to clean up after himself in the kitchen. I would cry all the time because he would just be mean and tell me I’m crazy (i was hormonal!) and then ignore me and spend time with his daughter so he didn’t have to address our problems. I was isolated and miserable just a few months after our engagement. I was getting more and more frustrated and unhappy. I cried all the time and he’d tell me to leave the house if I was going to do that. It seemed like sex was the only thing we still had. I tried to talk to him but he didn’t want to anymore. He blamed me for all of the problems and I believed him.. though it didn’t feel right. I was just trying to make it work. I was so good to him. Rubbed his back, cooked, brought him food to work, played with his daughter. He didn’t do one thing for me except wash my car (which I could care less about). I kept asking him if he still wanted to be with me which drove him crazy but it really didn’t feel right. I even paid for counseling for us. He came two times and I was hopeful that we’d figure it out. Then he threw me a baby shower with both our families. That same day, we had an argument and he called and said he wouldn’t be coming home. I was crying and felt desparate. Instead of giving him space I kept telling him to come back and we can make it work. I was hysterical. I stayed with my mom and I got him a new bike I’d been wanting to get him. I thought space would be good. But while I was gone he had a 20 year old girl over and slept with her in my bed, leaving my bedsheets in a heap after he washed them. He avoided me for a whole week and then just said he was done and that he had been ‘over me’ for a month. I found love poems he had wrote with this girl in my house. He stayed with his sister and had this girl who is a 20year old single mother staying there with him because she just split with the father of her baby. They were waiting there because they thought I would move out of my house and let them take over the lease but I wasn’t having that. I wanted him to come back. Finally he got his own place with her and left me with a $1100 lease and bills and hasn’t talked to me since. Not about the baby not about how I am not about where I’m staying. I’m devastated and confused. Please give me your opinion. Please don’t judge.If it’s too long for you then don’t read it. You don’t have to comment on it. Please be a little more mature. THank you.My friends and family told me that I was probably the best girl he had ever had the chance to be with. And I was very good to him. I guess I am not strong enough to demand better for myself yet. But in a way he did love me too… but I guess it was a very immature love. I just was asking him to be there and support me and show me he loved me and he didn’t know how to do that. He got tired of me asking for that little bit of support and he left. I felt alone all of the pregnance. The hardest part about letting go is that I still see the good in him and his intentions. I think I may have wanted him to be and saw him as something that he wasn’t. I feel stupid. This has been the hardest experience of my short life.

A: I’m really sorry about what that awful man did to you! But maybe he just had a change of heart the only advice I can give you is your better off without him.He treated you like dirt would you really want to be with someone like that for the rest of your life?Oh yeah take his a** to court for child support too!I wish you all the luck and again I’m sorry.
