I love everything about being pregnant except being sick.
Okay, nobody enjoys being sick, but I especially do not enjoy being sick. In fact, I hate it!! I don’t have time for anything that slows me down. Not now. Not ever. Well, especially not now… this is critical Mommy/Lucas bonding time and I need to be on my A-game, do my share of packing (we move in 11 days!) and rock my third trimester.
Being sick sets me back.
Being sick turns me into a not nice person.
Being sick sucks.
Being sick and seven months pregnant really sucks.
Being sick, seven months pregnant and not able to take anything stronger than Tylenol or Robitussin and having a preschooler, REALLY, REALLY sucks!!
I am not a good sick person, if there even is such a thing.
I am currently battling my THIRD cold/flu/yuck in two months and I got a flu shot. A lot of good that did me, but my OB would not let me leave her office without one. She also made me promise that my husband and son would get one too. They did and they haven’t been sick.
So unfair.
Ugh.
This is what my last five days have looked like:
I’m not looking for any sympathy or anything.

Ugh! Tonya, that sounds terrible. Being a mom and pregnant and sick all at the same time must be miserable! I’m so sorry.
It really should be illegal. Sigh…
Aw, Tonya, I’m sorry you’re not well. It really sucks, and especially so when you’re pregnant and have an active child to spend time with.
In my second pregnancy, I was sick a lot, plus I got food poisoning twice. It was awful. So, commiserations, and I hope you get better soon!
I have never had food poisoning, but I have heard stories! Yuck.
Any kind of sick sucks with kids.
🙁 I’m sorry Tonya. Been there and there’s nothing to say but it sucks. Hope you can kick it soon. Big ol’ hugs friend.
Thanks. I’m on day 13 of coughing up junk, but luckily I feel a lot better.
Almost sounds like you have a man cold 😀
Seriously, being sick sucks and being sick when pregnant should be absolutely forbidden. And being sick while pregnant and moving? I don’t even know what to say.
Hope you feel better soon!
I do sound like I have a man cold. That made me laugh out loud!!
Feel better soon!
Thank you!
Being sick while pregnant is a quintillion times worse than being sick NOT pregnant. You can’t take any meds for the symptoms and the symptoms are just WORSE because PREGNANT. I feel for you, friend. I had the flu during one pregnancy and the worst “cold” of my entire life during the other. Wish I could come refill your OJ for you!
You’re sweet! I’m feeling better after 13 days, but still coughing up yuck.
Sickness during pregnancy is the absolute worst. There’s so little you can do about it, but at least the reason for staying away from all the meds is a precious one! Feel better soon!
It’s just not fair. ):
Yuck…. I hope that you start to feel better soon.
Thank you. I think I’m finally on the mend…
UGH. Even more than moms, PREGNANT moms should NOT be allowed to get sick. Period. So sorry!
Yay for moving soon, though!! So exciting!
Yay for moving, indeed. I think I’m over the worst part of the sick.
Being sick is uncomfortable add pregnancy and it totally wears you out. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Only fellow moms seems to get it! Thank you.
Try to rest and make the best of it! I feel your pain!
Oh, woe is me… Thank you!
I am so sorry that you are sick. I have been sick and pregnant and it is no fun. At all. Hope you feel better soon!
Thanks, Kim! I think I’m FINALLY on the mend. FINALLY!
Love the UofA glass!
I hope by now, you are feeling all better! Keep drinking plenty of water! I drink one of those Emergen-C drink things about three times a week and anyone around me is sick, I even take an Airborn and I really do swear by all that stuff. (Knock on wood) I haven’t been full blown (take off work) sick in a long time. Let’s hope it stays that way!
