stages of being sick while pregnant

i feel like shit. i think i jinxed myself too. this whole time, i have been almost cocky about not getting sick. i beat flu season. i beat 3 weeks of being in a hospital for 3 weeks straight while tending to my mom. i beat 4 days of being in a hospital while tending to my grandfather. i went through one of the most traumatic and stressful times in my life. and never got sick.

until now.

last monday - started feeling itchy throat around lunchtime. i know this feeling all too well. i have a throat infection about 3 times a year so i am familiar.

tuesday - wake up and still have sore throat so i skip work and go to the doc where he indeed tells me i have a throat infection. i am prescribed amoxicillin for 5 days, 3 times a day. I take 2 pills this day.

wednesday - i have a OB appointment. feeling really shitty today...but i have to sit through a glucose test. i get my OB to ok the amoxicillin, just to be safe. i go into the office for a bit but leave early. I nap.

thursday - sore throat is sort of gone but now i have a cough! a nasty one. i feel bad for the baby. i go into work but also leave early. i nap again.

friday - cough is in full force. i am on day 4 or 5 of my meds but still not feeling 100%. i go home but cannot nap. i guess i am somewhat feeling better.

saturday - cough is dry....i stay home and all i want to do is sit on the sofa and do nothing. i force myself to move around and get some errands done. i nap at around 7 and wake up around 9. all goes to hell here bc i am hacking and coughing and feeling really shitty and groggy.

jae is helping with whatever he can and thats when i discover steam. dont know why i didnt think of it before. i boil hot water and just let myself breathe in the steam. 10 minutes later, my phlegm loosens and i cough up a big lungee which is yellow (prior, the phlegm had been white). relief. i do 2 cups of these and finally fall back asleep around 1:30 AM.

sunday - feeling somewhat better. i can even go out. having dinner at grandmas but around 6ish i start to feel really tired and sluggish, and i feel sick again. i feel like i need sleep. we get home and i instantly go to bed. i try to steam throughout the day.

monday - back to work. i steam in the morning and cough up another yellow lungee. i am not sure if seeing yellow now is good or bad. but i feel somewhat better. only now, the cough is subsiding but i have a runny nose.

thats my past 7 days. sucks doesnt it? i didnt nearly half of the things i needed to do done. but i need rest and my body is telling me to chill. i hope this is the end bc i really cant take it anymore. being sick while pregnant sucks. i have never ever been sick for this long a time before. usually after one day of meds, i am back to 100%. being sick for a week or more is really tiring and draining for me.
