Hey ladies. The winter cold as hit me BAD. I went to a Walgreens Take Care clinic and they said I had no infection so they didnt prescribe any antibiotics. My OB said I could take Robitussin for the cough and I've been taking Tylenol for headaches. Any other remedies that are safe for me and the baby?

Katie, try miso soup (with shitake mushroomsif you can). For some reason it always makes me get better much faster! Hope you feel better soon, colds are no fun :( Don't forget to take it easy and get lots of rest too! 

Amber, I haven't had any morning sickness at all. From what I've read, not everyone gets it, and it can come and go. Like Kate said, it's probably fine, but if you're really worried it's best to call you OB to set your mind at ease.

Thanks ladies! 

That is one of the hardest parts about being pregnant, the not knowing. It's very stressful! I just sometimes wish I could have an ultrasound everyday to make sure Lil nugget is doing just fine! How do you guys deal with getting through the first twelve weeks? I know youre not totally out of the clear at twelve weeks, but the risk is minimal. 

Finally had my u/s today. Baby is looking good and measuring a little head of what we thought going off my lmp. Im 11 weeks, but they decided to keep my edd at 7/12. Baby was moving around like crazy, heart beat was 165/169 same as my son Kales. Meeting with the state finance assistant people tomorrow and hoping we get some good news there.

Little late to the game here, but...lol, hey, we do what we can, right?

I found out I was pregnant in early November, after over a year of trying. We actually went to go see a fertility specialist two weeks before we found out, we were going to start treatments. Little did we know! We were ecstatic, I couldn't even wait to tell people, even though we were supposed to wait til 10-12 weeks. I had my first ultrasound Dec 10, saw the baby and the heartbeat, measuring steady at 155bpm. A few days after, I got a call from the office saying that they had been observing the measurements of the fold on the back of the baby's neck, and while it could have just been positioning, and it was a little early to tell, they wanted me to come in for a nuchal translucency screening, to get a better measurement and take a blood stick to test for an increased risk of Downs and other chromosomal abnormalities. I went in for that on 12/29, and based on the ultrasound, they say it looks fine, now we're just waiting on the blood results. I haven't had morning sickness, persay, but I was queasy as all get out for weeks - to the point where I just wished I would throw up already. Other than that, things have been pretty normal!
