It's awesome getting sick while you're pregnant

Can I just say that on top of my extreme fatigue and pee breaks every 30 minutes...I am now suffering from some virus? I am coughing, wheezing and blowing up yellow phelgm and all before we take a nice trip to Monteray.

Why is the world so cruel to do this? It's not like I can go and dope myself with meds because I might hurt the baby. So lucky me, I get to have regular Tylenol. I read that it was ok to take Sudafed, but after my doctor's visit, she said that Sudafed can increase baby's heart rate. So....momma will just have to suffer for the time being to keep baby healthy.

So another symptom of pregnancy is night sweats. So besides waking up several times to pee in the middle of the night, I now wake up drenched in sweat. It also doesn't help now that I am sick. To combat the night sweats, I sleep with a fan next to me and a humidifier next to me to mist me.

I know, I know..this horrible feeling will pass and everything will be a lot rosier in the 2nd trimester.
