    I had a horrible cold in January. I was crying I felt so sick. My dr said I could take sudafed but not sudafed PE, justthe plain sudafed. I also took tylenol every 4-6 hours and robitussin. I felt like such a druggie taking so much medicine while pregnant but it helped. I hope you the meds help and you get better soon.

    Congrats on 28 weeks!!

    Wanted to update. I am worse. I have a fever and have been puking even Tylenol up. I sent the kids to my parents and I am laying around. My OB did call in an antibiotic but I am having trouble keeping anything down. I hope tommorrow is better.

    Well, things are not getting any better. E&E ended up with the stomach bug at my parents. I was in the ER last night and have low potassium. Now dh is getting the congestion crud. Ethan is still with a fever.
