Title probably says it all. But being 30 weeks with such a rough pregnancy to begin with (I have a PICC and on TPN), my poor 19 month old baby boy has been down sick with some kind of cold that he passed to me. Unfortunately I’ve been hit the worst compared to my husband with the body aches, chills, headache/pressure, sore throat, all of which worsens the nausea and exhaustion. Hoping this passes quickly 🤞

Why are women especially moms not allowed to be sick or not feel well? Like if you complain about a symptom you’re told stuff like “well what else is new?” Or “oh you’re fine” or “you’re always tired, what else is new?”. What brought this on is having a head cold on top of HG. So then you lose the interest to explain or complain about what/how you’re feeling and just suck it up like always.
