Insert Appropriate Swear Words Here

Do you know what's worse than being sick and coughing, hacking and sneezing? When every single time you cough, your pubic bone pops and cracks. All. Frickin'. Night. And. Day. This is pure and utter misery. Scratch that...this is hell on earth. I can't lay down because the coughing intensifies. I can't sit because the cracking feels worse. I can't stand for too long because then everything hurts. I tried having a bath and fell asleep in there (which was actually kind of nice). But now Mike has gone to work and he made me promise I wouldn't bath again (because no one would be around to wake me up).

With each cough, I tense up because I know the stupid bone is going to pop. And I know it is going to hurt. So I try not to cough which is like trying not to laugh when something is really, really funny...the more you try to hold it in, the worse it gets and it just builds and builds until you have to let it out and its ends up being worse than if you had just let it go in the first place. Like the title says, insert appropriate swear words here.

If I haven't said it before, I'll say it again...this whole pubic thing totally sucks ass. And there's nothing that can be done about it. My only consolation is that it will go away when Baby is born. Universe, I am begging you...please give me a fair labour after all the other shit I've gone through with this pregnancy. If you can't give me a fair one, than at least give me one where I can be knocked the f**k out. That's all I ask.

  1. That sucks! I have a "tickly" cough right now too, and it gets worse right at bed, and then worse when I lay down. The other night I was up 'til 4! And then every time I start coughing the baby/toddler thinks he needs to crawl over and nurse & start pulling my hair. (Don't ask why we had to resort to all sleeping on the floor...)

    I finally resorted to Buckley's and it's been working...I think you can take that when you're pregnant. But you have to be desperate to take that stuff...

    Get better!

  2. I went to my doc tonight and he said I can take Robitussen (sp?) or Benylin. I didn't ask about Buckley's, but if this Benylin doesn't work, I will resort to the Buckley's...they're advertising definitely hits the nail on the head.
