WHOO PREGNANT! And A Question... -
September 27th 2009, 05:00 PM
Hubby and I found out yesterday that I'm pregnant. We were really hoping that September would be our month, we've only really been trying for a month and a half and bam it happened quickly!
I have a question though (I'm gonna ask my Dr but I can't get in right away so I'm posting it here) I have HORRIBLE allergies, I don't take allergy meds because they really don't work for me so I just suck it up and I usually use Vicks Vapour Rub or the Vicks Sticks.
I've heard a few rumors that Vicks isn't good for you while pregnant... anyone out there have any clarifications? I have tons of baby books and none of them touch on that subject.

Congratulations on the pregnancy. 
It's best to ask your doctor... I'm not completely sure, but I've heard that you shouldn't use anything with menthol in it during pregnancy, but again... I don't know for sure.
Congrats again. =]

I'm feeling good actually... energetic is most likely the best way to describe it. I'm just waiting for the all fun morning sickness to begin, but I'm gonna keep up with my jogging, just tone it down a little so I don't over exert myself.

Congratulations on getting pregnant!
I would think the Vapour Rub would be okay because you're not actually ingesting anything. But I'm not quite sure. Never had the experience and I'm definitely not a doctor. Check with your doctor before you take anything, just to be safe.
