i'm at about 7 1/2 weeks and ive been feeling pretty crappy (which i guess is normal). but in the past few days i've been severely congested and had some bad nasal-drip and i think that might be contributing to my my nausea and vomiting. i also have occasionaly felt pain in my inner ear (just within the last few days) and bad headaches that feel like sinus pressure. im afraid i might even be flu-ish because my stomach aches have changed and feel worse than the normal "morning sickness" i had before... before i was pregnant i would almost religiously take advil for cold/allergies whenever i felt this way, but ive learned that i cant take advil anymore.... anyone have any suggestions about cold or sinus medicine i can take thats safe for pregnancy??? i really cant take this any more! i want to be cheerful about being pregnant but its hard when i physically feel so miserable. thanks in advance.

hi, i know how u feel, i am 11 weeks and have been sick and felt sick all day since week 5 the congested nose is one of the many perks of being pregnant!! i have it and it does make me feel sick, but it does sound as though u have something more than just the sickness dont just assume cos ur ill its down to pregnancy i done that and last week i ended up in hospital on a drip, it started with a urine infection which i didnt get treated and it then went to my kidneys causing me to be even more sick, i live in the uk so things may be different but ur best to either call your midwife or speak to the pharmacist they usually no... good luck and i really hope you start feelin better soon xxx
