I've had a cold for 10 days, for the last 5 it's involved a horrible cough, pretty dry ish but really deep, sounds like a long bark / cow even. In the day I cough but feel mostly ok. As soon as I go to bed (in fact in the evening) it's worse I am literally coughing constantly in fits of coughing.
I went to the docs on Monday who said they can't help (27wks pregnant) but to keep up steaming and droning water (which I am of course)
Last night I went to bed at 11pm. Was awake coughing constantly until 1.30am so much it hurts my stomach because of the use of muscles (ha ha don't get much use!) I was sat up mostly so it's not all about being laid down. I then woke for 1.5hrs at 4am to do the same and now at 7 to get up with DD1.
Can anyone offer any suggestions of how I can get this thing to F off? I've had enough of it! We are staying at my in laws this eve and I know I will keep the whole house awake it's so bad (DH been in spare room) but I don't know what I can do.
I don't generally drink in pregnancy but DH suggested a hot toddy last night. I didn't have one but considered it as feel a bit desperate to be honest. If anything it's getting more annoying and worse not better and I am shattered!!
Anyone have any wonderful home made remedies?!
