When it rains it pours, I seriously get stuck with every single possible complication while pregnant and it sucks.

One of my SOs brought home the flu sometime in the last week. They had no symptoms but work around sick people, and since I've been bed bound with my mom being the only visitor, I can guarantee they are at fault.

Starting yesterday I started shivering out of no where, couldn't even get up (muscle aches) and spiked a high fever. Called OB this morning who prescribed Tamiflu since I'm still in the window and she didn't want to risk me coming into the office and exposing anyone else.

With this all I've wanted to do is sleep, on top of having some dental issues that will now have to be put on hold until I'm better. Worried about not getting enough calories for baby, so looking for some high calorie soft foods I could force myself to eat (must be wheat, barley, oat, gluten and red dye free).

    Sent SO for some ice cream to make a milkshake earlier, but even in a sweatshirt and under a blanket I'm so cold I couldn't drink it.

    Nut butters and Greek yogurt in smoothies with fruit and whatever protein additions you like. If the berries are frozen when you blend them in it will be a nice thick milkshake like consistency.

    Puddings
    Thick soups

    Meat is out of the question right now. The idea of it makes me want to throw up.

    Cream-based soups and milkshakes. Blend up a few rows of Oreos with ice cream and bam, you got a 1,200 calorie bomb right there. ...Not that I'd know anything about that, or anything. I've said too much.

    Can't eat Oreos.

    We ordered these Greek yogurt shakes from Chobani that are supposed to be good. They had good reviews.

    Soup.
    Broccoli, potato, cashews and stock, cook it, blend it. Delicious and the cashews add extra cals and a bit of protein and also make it nice and creamy.
    Or sweet potato and tomato, with a bit of garlic and ginger in there, and chilli if you can handle it.

    Mashed potato or sweet potato. Avocado with cottage cheese in the hole. Or if that makes you feel cold, baked with an egg in the middle. Scrambled eggs - add a bit of feta once it's cooked.

    These sound amazing. Will certainly try them.

    Good, I'm glad these sound OK. Hang in there, you've had a tough few weeks!

    I can, it just gets old after a while.
