It's only happened once with a mild cold but I'm nervous about winter for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-hate#post-1104828 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 09:30:57 +0000 Pirouette 1104828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: @evansjamie: haha too funny, i was just thinking about how he's usually really good about being sick, but he is seriously cranky with this one! i'm hoping that doesn't mean it's really a bad one.</p> <p>@hellobeeboston: I just went to buy airborne and then realized you're not supposed to take it while pregnant...emergen-c is OK? I just bought some plain ol' vitamin c because i just wasn't sure!</p> <p>@blackbird: ah, good for you! my boss is also sick, so i can't even avoid it at work...I'm not sure i'll be as lucky as you are!</p> <p>@IRunForFun: oh boo :( i hope you don't get the full blown cold! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-hate#post-1104727 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 08:56:22 +0000 avivoca 1104727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband swears by two Advil (Tylenol for me) and a glass of OJ before bed if he starts to feel a sniffle coming on. While I hate being sick, I hate it even more when he's sick because he is such a predictable man-child about it and I just want to tell him to suck it up and deal like the rest of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-hate#post-1104699 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 08:44:55 +0000 IRunForFun 1104699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH had a really bad cold last week, in fact he's still congested and coughing, and I slept on the couch, avoided kissing him, and drowned myself in emergen-c for 4 days. Well, I started out with a sore throat yesterday, which has gotten progressively worse. </p> <p>I really hope you can manage to avoid it! Vitamin C, lots of water, lots of sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-hate#post-1104689 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 08:41:42 +0000 blackbird 1104689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, i've been in the same boat. I felt the beginnings of sinus pressure on Friday and have been taking emergen-c and sudafed like crazy, plus really working hard to get my 10+ cups of water in. DH had a cold last week (i think he got it from me and the baby, though). I feel about 85% today, so I think i managed to head it off </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-hate#post-1104583 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 07:59:20 +0000 hellobeeboston 1104583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! The worst --- We keep going through the same cycle --- LO gets a little cold, then I get it, then DH. I was sick last mon/tues - and DH was in bed sat/sun sick! </p> <p>Start downing Emergen-C! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-hate#post-1104546 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 07:45:57 +0000 Rubies 1104546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You know what is worse in my house? It's when *I* have a small cold and DH is waiting to get it. It's worse because DH is a giant man-baby when he's sick and a cold to him is death. He milks it like there's no tomorrow and I DREAD it. I'm so unsympathetic when he's sick...LOL.</p> <p>Stay away from your DH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-hate#post-1104528 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 07:34:14 +0000 Pirouette 1104528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just waiting to get sick?! DH caught a really bad cold this weekend, and is lying in bed miserable right now. I feel terrible for him, but I'm also just totally dreading that I'm literally just waiting to catch it! I've never successfully avoided getting sick when he does, and especially with a lower immune system because of being pregnant, ugh! I hate being sick!! </p> <p>I'm just going to try to be super productive at work today since I know I'll probably be out sick sometime this week :( it feels like I'm getting ready for vacation but not nearly as fun ;) </p>
