im pregnant and ive got an awful gagging cough from a cold i have

[biglips]

can i take any cough med? as my chest is hurting and also my throat

Hey BL!! Congratulations!!

I was plagued with coughs when preg with ds2, and the only thing that I was allowed to do was to steam inhale menthol eucalyptus. It did help though.

don't know about medication, but i'm also pregnant with bad cough, and for me sanitary towels of more importance

hey thanks

how are you?

Take solace in the fact that the cough part will only last three days and the residual cold up to three weeks (cough will give way to snottiness though - take tissues).

A certain amount of congestion is fairly normal in pregnancy as well (it's all part of the glamour of procreation )

Good thanks. Ds2 is 3 months now and is just lovely. Ds1 loves him to bits too (phew!!). How is DD?

try a teaspoon of honey.

ive been blowing my nose due to a small cold since ive been pg....for the past 5 months!! so is that normal?

i came out in proper full blown cold since last week.

aww thats sweet beansprout.. my dd is fine as she is liking the idea of me having a baby now but not at first though but eventually warmed up to the idea.

hmm honey is not my thing but ill give it a go.
