Being sick sucks while prego
I am 26 weeks prego and have this pretty severe wheezing hacking cough. Got it from a coworker. I feel like my lungs are already squished quite a bit and this sucks. I reached a new level today and vomited while coughing. Going to talk to my doctor tomorrow about it. So fun. Right now I’m doing emergen-c, tea, herbal lozenges. Any tips are appreciated. Unfortunately the wheezing gets the worse when I’m laying down so it’s hard to rest.

The times I felt the worst was when I was sick pregnant you get 100x sicker!!! Unfortunately you kind of have to wait it out. You can usually take some stronger meds for about 3 days but that’s it and my coughs would last 2 weeks!!! Prop yourself up at night and use a humidifier with lozenges. My nurse also told me pineapple juice?
I’ll definitely try the humidifier tonight. Interesting idea on the pineapple juice. Thank you!
My doctor was able to give me a list of meds that I could take which helped.
I used Vicks in shower tablets which really helped mucus buildup. I’m sorry you are going through this. Being sick and preggo is the worst. I hope you feel better soon.
