So I feel like shit. Bluntly put.

I have a stuffy nose, my throat and chest hurts, I’m achy. I’ve felt like this this Wednesday and I’ve used pretty much everything I’m allowed to bring pregnant.

So I go to google (not my most clever idea).

-“What can I use for cold and flu symptoms while pregnant”

-“Vicks Vapour Tub” number 1

So I’m thinking “hmmm Vicks Vapour Rub. Hot water. Humidity?” So I decide to take a warm bath, and just putt a tea spoon full of vicks into the bath I leave it to run and I get in.

It’s takes around 30seconds-3 minutes for it to start working it’s magic. Achy bones I can feel it coming for you. Stuffy nose, not anymore.

AND THEN IT HIT.

My whole body on fire 😭. MY NIPPLES, god bless my poor, sensitive, milk leaking nipples. God there on fire, there stinging. Surely this isn’t normal? My arms, my legs everywhere burns it’s hot but it’s cold, my body is so confused I couldn’t jump up quick enough to shower this devilish creation off my body.

So for those pregnant mamas who are feeling a little shitty and under the weather. Jut stick to normal baths. Vicks on the chest. Paracetamol and rest. Don’t take advise from Google.

Yours, a very poorly, unsatisfied pregnant woman (I bet my poor baby is think WTF are you doing woman). 🤦🏽‍♀️
