And think that someone, somewhere, should do some bloody testing on drugs so I can get something better than 'simple fucking linctus' and paracetamol....
I'm 41 weeks pregnant and since dh borough a cold home last week have had a cough for over a week. So fed up, couldn't sleep till at least midnight, then awake again half an hour ago, woken myself up by wetting myself. Lovely.
Have tried everything, have inhaled steam, a vaporizer with menthol, I stink of tiger balm, I have drunk my own body weight not insubstantial in honey and lemon, and I have now just bloody had it.
I steamy to take a luck off good cough medicine that will knock me out for long enough so I can sleep for the first time in a week and not wake up every morning with false contractions because my coughing has caused the muscles in my stomach to hurt so much I'm convinced baby might actually make an appearance this year.
But if I go to the gp or boots, all get is the head tipped to the side 'sorry, we can't give you anything...have you tried honey and lemon with whisky?
Aaargh! Of course dh, the Tucker, has Nora worded comfort and just pretends I'm not keeping him awake. He had a cough for one night and now is fine again. Because he doesn't have a person compressing his lungs to half their size
Is it too much to ask that someone could just give pregnant women actual hard facts about what is actually in the good drugs and why we can't have them so we cam make a bloody choice ourselves?
