hey-
i just called my ob's nurse to ask her about these symptoms i'm having but she has to call me back, so i thought while i wait might as well get some other opinions.
plus, i'd rather do home remedies than medicine so if you can, help!
i'm almost 29 weeks pregnant, i'm congested and achy everywhere and i've had a sinus headache for 4 days now. tylenol hasn't really helped with the headache. i'm so easily worn out i can't do much for housework and i also feel sick to my stomach, like eating food makes me feel even worse.
could i have the flu? even if i don't, what can i do to feel better?!

It sounds like you might have a sinus infection (sinusitis) since are so congested and having headaches, pain and fatigue. Low grade fever could also be causing your tiredness, lack of appetite and general feelings of being "unwell."
The flu would be accompanied by a lot of coughing and would have started with very high fever, so you can rule that out.
You can try nasal spray for the congestion or breathing in hot steam with a towel over your head. If it is very severe you might have to break down and see a doctor to get an antibiotic safe for pregnancy.
I know it seems early in the season to be getting sinus problems, but everyone I know, including myself, has gotten something similar to what you're describing, this month. Weird!

You probably are just having a cold or sinus infection. I have had days where I feel tremendously run down and my asthma flares up horribly.
You might want to just consult with your doctor and see if you a
can get a prescription. You could also take a warm shower to help with the body pain annd congestion. Another thing I do is drink lots of tea.

Im assuming its normal because on most pregnancy websites n books said its normal to have stuffy nose and headaches. Not sure about feeling achy. So u could probably be catching a flu

I've heard that morning sickness can return in the 3rd tri-mester. I thought that was happening to me when I first hit the 3rd tri-mester point. But I'm better now. Just keep taking in lots of fluids to keep from getting dehydrated. Get lots of rest, maybe even relax in a warm tub.
