a bad cold - 20 weeks

I've been sick for more than a week. It's just a cold, but my cough is so bad that no one wants me in the office. Ha.ha.. the day I got "sent home", I was feeling a bit guilty, but I appreciate the time off very quickly. The problem about being pregnant and being sick at the same time... is that I can't take drugs, I am weaker, and I can not control my bladder! er... yup.. I am a preggie, not a lady writing about pregnancy, so I will talk about the not-so-lady like stuff. I have to run to the bathroom every time I start coughing... being at home is way easier than being at work at this point. It's like I was on my first trimester again.. running to the toilet every couple of hours.. or every 5 minutes actually..

I was pretty concerned about how baby is doing when I cough. My cough is so bad my stomach would hurt. I also noticed less movements right after my cough. The doctor reassure me that it is very safe, but of course, it still brings me tears when I cough too much. I am so glad we have the Doppler. And... the baby is so awesome... he/she had been moving a lot last few days. Like he/she was doing tap dance or something. It definitely made me feel a lot better.
