I have always had sinus issues. I have felt so lucky to have no true pregnancy symptoms that got in my way on a daily basis, well except for revolving my life around bathroom locations for peeing. I map out where I'm going and which places I can pee at. Well, the sinus disaster began about 5 days ago.....started itchy scratchy throat, then this weird pain about 2 inches above my left ear whenever I'd stand up. Then just an over all YUCK feeling that pretty much kept me couch bound for the entire 4th of July weekend. I only took Tylenol twice, neti pet 2x a day, steam shower, emergen-c packet once every other day, and ice packs on my neck and temples/bridge of nose/cheeks. My neck aches, and at times my head throbs so bad i cant get up. Oh, did i mention at times my left nostril goes on vacation? I think its slowly getting better, or it's wishful thinking. I heard sinuses can bother women through most of their pregnancy. That would NOT be good. I avoided claritin, and sudafed although tempting. I guess as long as i caprevent a full blown infection I am good!
On a side note, We had our 15 week OB appt June 29 and all was well. We heard the heartbeat, and somehow in the month i only gained one pound. I guess it makes up for the 4 the month before! This Wednesday is our anatomy scan!!!! HOPEFULLY we will know the sex. Ryan plans on selling the baby if it's a girl, and we have many takers. The funny thing is, if it is a girl she will absolutely melt his heart and take over his life.
