Hello

I am pregnant with an awful cold which I have had for four weeks!!! I know its harder to shake them off when pregnant but its driving me mad.

My nose is going to fall off at this rate with all the blowing I am doing every minute.

Also since last week I notcied that I can no longer smell except for strong perfume and I cant taste my food. I even had garlic bread yesterday and nothing - tasted no flavour. On Friday we had an Indian and I could not taste the flavours but I knew it was hot as I could feek the spices working on my tongue. Anyone else experience this?
How long was it before your taste and smell returned?
The other week I thought I had sinitus as I had a pain below my eyes and lots of brown gunky stuff came out of my nose (sorry its disgusting!)It only lasted a few days then stopped, I have no pain now and just a very blocked and runny nose.

I dont want to go to the gp about a cold - he makes me feel over the top everytime i go and i only went last month.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

have you had any paracetemol yet for your cold?

It's probably a touch of sinusitis. You can be prone to nasal congestion in pregnancy which can make this even worse. I had sinusitis for weeks in one of my pregnancies and couldn't shake it off. Needed antibiotics in the end.
