Help.
Feeling really off colour cough, cold, high temp, tired etc (typical cold) been like this 5 days now and taking nothing but hot black currant juice and paracetamol to reduce my temp.
and now I don't know if I should take my usual remedies!

I would use (not all at the same time)
Honey and lemon cough syrup
Bechums powders or similar
All the paracetamols I'm allowed and
Vicks nasil spray.
All of which say not to use when pregnant. I know I'm not pregnant at the min but should I be cautious? 1 more week before I can test.

Any help would be great. :)

In my opinion you should take anything, in the first few weeks the baby isn't fed of the placenta anyway so you won't do any damage and you may be ttc for a while (speaking from experience Hmm ) so it's better not to put your life in hold every month for those two weeks...until that tests turns positive and then of course stop everything you're not supposed to have! In sure others will have different opinions Grin
