Yes, you got that right -- I'm on my third pair of underwear today. Why??? My strep throat has not improved (was it a false positive?) after my third day on antibiotics and now, I have a horrendous cough that isn't helped by Robitussin DM (on the approved list of drugs) or anything else, really. And coughing = uncontrollable pee leakage. And either I've been incontinent all along and didn't really realize it (I know things down there have weakened w/ DS, but this is insane!) or this is a symptom. Okay, I just checked Dr. Google, and it is indeed. It does help when I grab myself, but not really a viable solution at work...
Anyway, I got barely any sleep last night because of my cough and I'm really tired of being sick (7 days already). : ( WTF? I thought strep was the absence of a cough? Dr. Google does state individuals with experiences similar to mine, but not a whole lot of other info. I want to know when my suffering can end.
I'm now 14w1d and I guess this is officially second trimester. I'd like to feel good like I'm supposed to at this time. As of today, I'm out to my students and their parents, but not on Facebook (not sure when that'll happen). Some of my good friends who aren't local don't know yet... but w/ B2, it's not like it warrants a phone call or anything. Also not everyone knows we went the fertility clinic route.
Hopefully, the next time I post, I'll be feeling better.
I'm sick too so can understand what a bummer it is, I hate being sick!!! Congrats on the second tri, so fabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better stat! I have the same problem when I sneeze and am sure I would be in your boat if I had a cough. Can you brace your pelvic floor with a kegel? COngrats on 14 weeks!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I can, sometimes I cannot do it in time or powerfully enough. The things women go through, eh?
DeleteFeel better soon! Coughing + peeing = no fun. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 14 weeks!!
I really hope you are feeling better soon. Wetting yourself from coughing is just no fun at all.
ReplyDeleteI know you don't want to hear this, but a lot of times it takes till you are done with the antibiotic to really feel better. I hope it's sooner than that!
