Bad cold last week....
So last week I had an awful cold. It went straight to my chest, and I was coughing and miserable for several days. I debated whether or not to call the doctor, but it was the weekend and then it was the 4th of July and apparently my dr doesn’t have an after hour hotline you can call or anything which was super scary to me.
I made sure to drink a ton of fluids, and forced myself to drink smoothies and gatorades even though they were way too sweet because I couldn’t get any food down at all. (Even so, I literally lost 7 pounds over the course of the week)
While I was sick, baby was moving all the time... I’m sure I was keeping him awake with the constant coughing.
Now that I’m mostly better, however, I’m not feeling a lot of motion and I am scared out of my mind. What little I’ve felt him kick has been very weak. I have an ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow and a drs appt on Wednesday that I had scheduled previously, but I’m worried that if I wait it might be too late if there is something seriously wrong? Or am I over reacting to baby getting some rest because he’s as worn out as I am?
Anyone ever been through this before? And if so, how did you handle it??
