My mood while writing this blog: Ok |
Well I don't know about you guys but I think I'm finding that pregnancy is just plain stressful... There's just so much to worry about.... I feel like I'm playing Russian Roulet for 9 months.... My main concern (as everyone else) is that my baby be healthy... I see so many crazy people out there with healthy babies/kids I just think, "ahhh, I hope I have that too...." However, the other night I did something STUPID (I haven't even told my husband) and can't forget about it... Here it is..............
So, I have a cold and it's pretty bad... I was talking to my mom on the phone and decided I'd take a little tylenol cold medicine before bed (the dr said it's okay)... So, we're talking and I go to the cabinet and pour myself a small dose and take it...................... AHHHH YEAH, I TOOK NYQUIL (by accident)... I had terrible dreams that night (mostly about babies with diformities such as missing noses, etc).... Now I am paranoid that I ruined my babies life because I wasn't paying attention... I internet searched nyquill and pregnancy and the only thing I can find is, "don't take it." Needless, to say I can't stop thinking about how I sedated my less than one pound baby....... ahhhhhhhhhh, anyone have any opinions or words of advice???

Tuesday, 30 Sep Yes, I felt like that all the way through my pregnancy and it doesn't get any better! when they are here, you still worry, its all part of being a mum but you cope more when they are here, Why not take a 4d scan to put your mind at rest?
I'm sure you will be OK and you only took it once. I assume alcohol has the same effect and alot of women get P'd without even knowing they are pregnant try not to worry hun x angie020709 -
Monday, 29 Sep Honey your fine....I'm a nurse and pregnant women with kidney infections get meds with codine....you'll be fine......... J9 -
Sunday, 28 Sep Kelly, I'm sure it's fine... you only took it the once, you didn't take too much and you are past the half way mark so all baby's organs etc are formed and well.. that won't be reversed.. it probably just made bubba a little drowsy for a while! I'm sure it will be fine. I know what you mean about all the anxiety and paranoia.. I'm the same, I reach one milestone and breath a sigh of relief then start worrying about the next thing that could go wrong.. for me at the moment it's my cervix.. i've had no signs of anything but now I'm thinking what if I have a weak cervix and the baby is born now... etc etc... I am enjoying the movements and my swelling belly, I just wish I had a crystal ball that could tell me that in february I'll have a healthy baby!! I think we're all the same :-) aloha.ma -
Sunday, 28 Sep Oh Im sure your fine...Think of the people who may smoke and drink when they are pregnent (but dont know they are)...Everyone can slip up..shoot sometimes I think is Aidyn going to be stressed when I am loud, like calling for my daughter upstairs:) LOL But Aidyn is as healthy as he can be now. Waking me up throughout the night etc. He actually has just recently allowed me to sleep on my side....speaking of that...heres another example..Ive heard that if you lay flat on your back you can cut off a blood supply to the baby, well just about every night I fall asleep on my back:) Granted with about 4 pillows behind me, but you know! I think we are just a bit over concerned about our babies....but who wouldnt be, right? mommydearest09 -
Sunday, 28 Sep I know what you mean about being paranoid all the time! I have crazy dreams and nightmare's about my baby haveing deformities every once in a while too. About your nyquil incident....don't worry about that small amount you took. Of course I would tell the doctor, but the babies are a lot tougher than we think. It take a lot more than a sip of nyquil to cause deformities. Your baby is going to be fine :) nikkipearl -
Sunday, 28 Sep The only reason they say not to take cold medacine, especially new ones that have just came out in recent years is because they havent done enouph research to tell if it is bad for fetus's, they have no studies that show it is bad, but then none that says its not. So to be safe they say dont take it! I was super sick for the last 2 weeks, so i did lots of research, and your going to find different stories that support taking it and not taking it. But dont worry because your baby will be fine. barunka05 -
