Well I went to the hospital last night after I'd had a crazy coughing fit, was feeling terrible and getting what i think is braxton hicks. Ended up putting me on ventalin - which made me feel terrible for first 2 hrs while i was racing but ended up with a bit better sleep. It's moved down to my chest now which is really annoying. Today my nose bleeds have started again which isn't a good combo with my runny nose and chesty cough. My baby shower is tomorrow arvo so I really hope that I feeling better!!

Normally I'm really not a sook, I tend to soldier on through things with the attitude that there are plenty of people a lot worse off than me, but I must be getting really emotional cos I just want to cry. Have been looking forward to this time for so long, I didn't imagine being sick.

Meadsie - The nurse at hospital last night said can have pseudoephidrine (sp? - brain not working) but would rather the doctor prescribe to me. So it must be ok.

Koru - I hope you feeling better soon! I've also done the eucalyptus in hot water with towel over head to try clear my airways - it might help you too... I know what you mean by running on empty and did say that to DH. My body has been strong to get through stress or work lately. Rest up, and hope it clears off soon so you can enjoy your last few weeks too
