I came down with cold and pounding headache since friday. Initially i tried not to take any medication but it turned out to sinus infection. Doctor prescribed me some antibiotics which she told us it was absolutely safe during pregnacy. It was horrible to suffer cold during pregnacy. Non-drug medication like steam vapoursier, vicks vaprob etc wasn't at all helping me because doctor says our immune system slows down during pregnacy medication is absolutely essential. Anyways, i am pefectly alright now.

Sakhi, I do get lots of kicks and moves.Sometimes i get the feeling that my whole tummy is moving :)My doctor examined the position of baby's head. When i went to see the doctor for cold she was shocked to see my pulse rate got very higher then the last time. She advised me to drink lots of water and keep myself cool.

Jyotsna, padmaja, nivea hope you all are doing fine. Girls, I had nausea/morning sickness in the first trimester and i haven't had any problem in the third trimester so far. But sometimes i do have one problem ie. stomach ache due to the acidity. Empty stomach can trigger acidity so have to eat often. Padmaja,jyotsna you guys also has to do the same for nausea. Don't keep your stomach empty and take plenty of fluids.

Our festival is on friday. I have invited some friends for the feast. I was not hoping that we will be able to celebrate at all due to myself been sick. Infact now i am fine so fervour is back. Girls all of you are welcome :)

Take care all of you! Mekha replied. Girls, Thanks a lot for the wishes. We really had a nice time. I am not tired that much after the cold and my baby is pretty active too. Baby has eaten/is eating a lot(b'day & onam) and quite happy about it :) Some of my friends came over and we arranged a feast for them. But i knew that i can't do all the work or that fast like before so dh helped me a lot.

Hope you all are doing good and keep smiling. Sakhi, i will get back to your message later for the list we have to prepare for the baby. I have to get ready to go out as climate is pretty cool and we have been invited to one our friends place.

Sakhi,Nivea,jyotsna,Padmaja...anybody left? oh myself:)take care girls! Nivea replied. Hi mekha,

Happy Onam and belated B'day wishes !!

Hope u are doing well... sure u must have had a nice time celebrating Onam....

Sakhi,,the discomforts of the 8 th and 9 th month have to be endured i Guess....No 2 ways about it...perhaps u can try and get better sleep by reducing your water intake just before going to bed. And try and get as much rest as possible,..whenever u can.

Padmaja,,I can understand what your going through..since i feel the same at times...Even i tend to feel light headed and nauseous some days...What I do --is just pop in a sweet/toffee in my mouth to keep the feeling away....but if its too strong---I just Throw up.....it feels miserable doing that in the 8 th month--but theres no way out i guess.

Jyostna, Glad you are doing fine.

Take care of yourselves girls
Nivea.
sakhi replied. Wishing you happy birthday. May this year bring you lots of joy with your little one.

Real good to see you back. Hope you are fine now. Cold is very common in this season and since the pregnant women have high body temp, you can catch cold very soon. Do take care of urself.

I am feeling really very uncomfortable. I can not sleep properly. Have to get up so many times to go to toilet and to drink water. Also having breathing problems. I think these all will continue till the end.

Take care and enjoy your day.

Sakhi Padmaja replied. Hope you are feeling fine by now. Wish you happy onam and a very happy birthday( 08/31/01)
As for nausea I try to eat as often as I can but it is not helping as I say joys of pregnancy have to be endured !!
Have fun and keep posting.
