bad colds

Posted on January 14, 2007

I have been suffering from colds and cough for about a week now. Bad. My ob was very concerned because she doesn’t want to risk any bacterial infection. During the whole duration of my pregnancy, I’ve had more than 3 occassions where I seem to be developing bad colds. These started at around November of last year when the weather started getting cold. We’ve actually considered getting a humidifier. The weather is getting colder and it’s even wreaking havoc on my skin stretched by pregnancy, making it dry. With the worsening cold, especially in the morning, I’ve found my pregnant tummy getting itchy again.

Nowadays, I wake up with a sore throat, a clogged nose, and an itchy, dry tummy. Thinking that Mateo might not appreciate such conditions, we are thinking of doing something about it. Since a humidifier is not a very popular equipment in a Philippine household, I decided to do a little bit of researching on it. It seems that there are several types of humidifiers. I was able to get very helpful information discussing and comparing different types of humidifiers. According to a site I visited, we can choose to have a whole house humidifier or only a single room humidifier. Since our house is pretty small, I think a single room humidifier would do. Now I just have to check out prices of humidifiers the next time we go malling.
