I’ve been fighting some type of viral infection my husband brought home. Today is day 3 and I am just so weak and exhausted. I feel like any nutrition ingested goes straight to the baby, as it should, but I don’t feel like I have the strength to fight this off, and on top of that I can’t take any medications to relieve these awful symptoms. Today has been extra hard because I’m also dealing with pregnancy symptoms of nausea on top of my viral symptoms.

Anyways, please pray for me, I’m beginning to feel desperate. Thank you.

Gracious and merciful Father, please come to their assistance.

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end
Amen.
 
I went through a similar situation at the beginning of my pregnancy (I’m at about 18 weeks now). Not fun. 😦

You might check with your doctor. I’ve found that there usually are a few medicines for relief of symptoms that are safe to take (as long as you’re under a doctor’s care) while pregnant. If he/she can’t suggest/prescribe a medication, perhaps you can at least get some idea of how long this might last, what to watch out for, etc.

Will pray for you! :gopray2:

Oh Dear One,

I am so very sorry that you are feeling so ill. 😦

Praying that you feel better soon, and that you and the baby will both be fine.

I remember the days of being sick on top of being pregnant. My prayers are with you for a speedy recovery. Hang in there…and congratulations by the way for the pregnancy and bringing a new life into the world.

Mary.

God our Father, source of all health, be near those who suffer in the time of weakness and pain; relieve them of their burden and heal them, if it be Your will.

Give peaceful sleep to those who need rest for soul and body, and be with them in their hours of silence. Bless those who know not what another day will bring. Make them ready for whatever it may be; whether they must stand or sit or be confined, grant them a strong spirit…

Hope you feel better soon. I wish you were my neighbor; I would have my dear Vietnamese sister make you her never-fail rice soup. It’s gotten me through every major illness for the past 30 years. She just boils the heck out of regular rice, adds it to some clear chicken stock and adds a little chopped green onion, a few chunks of chicken and some nuoc mam for flavor. The rice is pretty thick, so the consistency is half soup and half stew. 7-up goes well with this.

O beautiful flower of Carmel,
Most fruitful Vine, splendor of Heaven.
Holy and singular
Who brought forth the Son of God,
Still ever remaining a pure virgin
Assist me in this necessity
O Star of the Sea,
Help and protect me!
Show me that Thou art my Mother.
O Mary, conceived without sin,
pray for us who have recourse to Thee!
Sweet Mother, I place this cause in your hands.
Amen.
 
Holy Michael the Archangel defend us in the day of battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the Power of God,
thrust down to hell, satan and all the wicked spirits,
who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession and was left forsaken. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, a sorrowful sinner. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen
 
Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . Amen

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
Praying for you…and feeling really sorry for your condition. Hang in there, hopefully tomorrow will be better.
