I had a sleepless night on Sunday after volleyball from an allergy attack. So what does a normal person do? Take allergy meds of course, right? Well, uh when you're pregnant, you not supposed to take anything; meds can harm the baby, blah blah blah blah....Well, I was dying! I had that feather up my nose feeling, nose was running like there was no tomorrow and sneezing too. I went through 1/2 of a box of tissue blowing my nose throughout the night til 4am. What the HECK am I supposed to friggen do?
I got my sorry ass up, took a Claritin & a regular sudafed (the real stuff not the PE stuff), blew my nose a couple more times and felt much better. At 6:45am when the alarm went off, you wouldn't have known I was having an allergy attack a couple hours earlier.
I thank God for a great OB. Of course guilt got the best of me and I had to confess and tell my OB I took claritin and sudafed -the regular sudafed. She said, "Who said you had to suffer and not be able to take anything?!" I , uh..felt a little dumb and said, "My friends! Their OBs frown upon usage of any medication of any kinds...." She said, "No one says anyone has to suffer...everything you eat & do in moderation is ok. Taking the claritin & sudafed is ok since you're in the 1st trimester still.... just don't over do it...yada yada yada"
So I asked, "Is it ok for me to continue to play volleyball?" She said , " Of course! Just no diving, no sweeping the floor, no rolling! Avoid getting hit in the stomach of course and be careful! Listen for your body to tell you that it can't play anymore. Heed all pain or strains! See you on May 2nd..."Ahhhhh...I like it that she is just down to earth and so easy going...
]These last few days...I am not liking Coke & M&Ms as much; two of my favorite junk foods. I've been just liking water. Purifed drinking water. Spring water makes me gag. After I eat, I'm in nauseous mode and then sleepy & tired mode. My boobs hella hurt and friggen tingle like crazy, I'm so bloated that my pants are tight, I have to unbutton them after I eat. The smell of red meat made me feel sick today! Craving tofu, broccoli & chicken! I haven't had my broccoli fix yet though...But tofu is to die for right now. Korean Tofu soup on Sunday, yesterday i made thai basil chicken and rice, today I made ma po tofu over rice, picked up some spicy egg plant & tofu and Orange chicken for Dave.
