So apparently doctors are extremely careful about pregnant women getting sick. I have cold and flu-like symptoms, so I called my ob-gyn yesterday evening to see if there is any medicine that I can safely take. I ended up being on the phone with the nurse for about half an hour, answering tons of questions. Since I haven't had my flu shot this season, they are treating me like I have the flu, just to be cautious, I suppose because it is especially dangerous for pregnant women. So now I'm taking some flu medicine, Sudafed, and Tylenol, drinking tons of water (as if i need something to make me pee more), and trying to take it easy. I feel like poo, but at least its not morning sickness...yay...
