In today's issue of "How the Pregnancy Turns"...
Having a cold while you are pregnant sucks. Basically, take any really useful medicine and throw it out the window, because you can't take it. You get Robitussin Cough Medicine and Tylenol and that's about it.
So I have a cold. I've mentioned this. It's not the most horrible cold ever, but any cold is bad enough, especially when you're handicapped in the medicines you're allowed to take. Plus, when you're pregnant, you pee when you cough. Or at least, I do. And yes, I've tried Kegels, and all the exercises in the world haven't helped the matter. The only thing that does is physically crossing my legs...which is difficult to do EVERY frikkin time I cough.
Add to that, the sciatica makes it so that every time I cough I get shooting pain in my left hip and leg area. Nothing like a little shooting pain to keep you up at night (note that it is 4:45 and I am awake and typing on lj, because I gave up on sleep about 45 minutes ago). It's partially my fault, I suppose, for letting my tylenol regimin lapse because I hadn't been keeping careful count of the hours, and I didn't want to take more than the recommended dosage in a 24-hour period. I'm back on schedule now.
So every time I sit down to use the restroom, I also have shooting pain in the hip. And every time I try to turn over in bed. I feel like an old lady. I intend to make an appointment with D's chiropracter when I get back, but there just isn't time before we fly to Minnesota.
Also, the heartburn is kicking in to the extent that I had to bump up my dose to the Zantac 150 instead of the 75.
Oh yes, being pregnant is all wonderful, beautiful, and glowing and magical.
My ass.
