It took 10 days for me to consistently feel better &amp; I literally prayed everyday to NOT go into labor. Lol. The way I figured it my unmedicated homebirth was enough to mentally &amp; physically do, I didn't need achiness on top of it. :-/</p> <p>To be honest I think the Benadryl helped "ward off" labor bc until I was med free for 2 days I didn't have ANY signs of labor starting. I did end up going 12 days over due but that was still better than labor on top of being sick! Lol</p> <p>Hope you start feeling better soon!!!! Rest rest rest! Do everything to get that body better ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/39-weeks-and-caught-a-cold#post-202942 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 09:10:30 +0000 SugarplumsMom 202942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I caught my husband's cold and now sitting here feeling sorry for myself. Aside from drinking tons of hot, lemon, honey water, taking cough drops and getting some rest, does anyone have a magic concoction to help a girl out?</p> <p>My symptoms include a sore throat, stuffy nose, and feeling awfully weak and tired. I ran out of vitamin C but I've been having oranges. </p> <p>I should also add that I think I may have cracked a tooth! I have no idea how this kind of stuff just happens all the sudden. Just yesterday I was trying to convince the baby to come out and play and now I'm telling her to stay in for a bit longer. </p>
