sorry guys i havent been around in a while. busy moving and with life in general.
its nice to see that we are the 5th due date club down!!! im at 20 weeks!
half way there. ive had some minor problems during the pregnancy (lots of false positive, does that happen often to ppl?) but otherwise a good pregnancy so far.

the thing i am sooo miserable about is:
ive had this annoying dry cough for 3 nights now. i cant sleep, can barely breathe. i finally took off of work today.the dr said i can only take robitussin dm.

any other home remedies? (non herbal) anyone can think of to help???

this cannot be good for the baby....?

Steam helps me. Either a vaporizer or turm the shower on really hot and sit in the streamed bathroom (not in the shower). Hope you feel better soon.

Water, all three ways. Drink it, breathe it (steam), sit in it (bath).

I was going to say water too...if I drink constantly it seems to help my cough stay away. I hope your able to get some relief soon!

im sorry you have a pesty cough. I had a really bad cough for 6 MONTHS. it finally went away. i dont know what it was from, but I suspect allergies. I agree drinking water may help. hope it passes quickly.
