SO uncomfortable

[cthulugrrl]

So I think I caught whatever cold is going around. Katy's description of what was wrong with her seems familiar. Can't call in sick to work, and I have my work baby shower this Sunday. Throat hurts, can't get a deep breath, dry unproductive cough, and the persistent feeling that I'm about to develop a fever. I've had that "I'm starting to get sick

I don't think anyone will hate you if you go into labor early. If they do, I'll beat them.

Feel better!

Screw them if they hate you! Maybe someday when they grow up they'll understand!

My sympathies. Being sick while pregnant is evil, really really evil. If it starts feeling infection-y, go get the drugs. It happened twice while I was pregnant. When I was about where you are I got the worst cough and I couldn't get a breath into cough. The ob gave me antibiotics. Also any infection can send you into early labor. Not to scare you but you need to know.

I have pretty bad eczema (well, used to have. It flares up occasionally, but I remember when I was younger, when I played piano, it would crack and bleed all over the keys).

In any case, I have a steroidal cream for it, if you'd like it. If you get your hands wet and put a thin layer of vaseline over top, then the steroidal cream, it'll heal it almost overnight. I'll give you some next time I work with you, I have it in my purse.
