I feel like my body is shutting down!

mrsraggle · Mar 12th, 2010, 06:10 AM

I've been so poorly the last couple of weeks.

The week before last I had awful morning sickness (I have it everyday anyway, but it was the worst it's been in AGES.)
Last week I had a horrible cold and didn't sleep properly for days.
This past Wednesday night/Thursday morning I had sickness and diarrhea.
And this morning I've woken up with a horrible swollen throat, a slight temperature, snuffly nose again and just feel generally run down.

Is there anything I can do to stop my body from giving up on me?! I just hope Littlebug's ok and getting everything s/he needs from me.

Try and up your intake of fresh fruit and veg. Baby is drawing A LOT on you right now and getting everything it needs.. which is in turn making you feel drained. Also keep hydrated. I also find if you wash your hands regularly, especially if you've been out in public, shopping etc... it'll keep the bugs at bay.

Hope you feel better soon. xxx

I'm pretty sure baby is getting everything needed from you but in turn, as was mentioned, it leaves you super drained and therefore more susceptible to feeling down and out when otherwise your immune system would help pop you back up again a lot sooner. I hope you feel better soon; my best thoughts are to just take it easy, get lots of rest, drink water, eat as well as you can when you can eat, and generally be good to yourself! Hope it passes for you sooner than later!
