I'm pregnant and have a stinking cold... and my driving test is at 8am tomorrow

[MegBusset]

I have some honey and lemon but is there anything else I can take? How about paracetamol or ibuprofen? Am 19 weeks pg.

Can I take those fizzy vitamin C tablets?

Any other magic cures welcome... it's the first cold I've had in months, bloody rotten timing

Not sure about what you can take or not take, but wanted to say good luck for your driving test and hope you wake up feeling better tomorrow.

Thanks Bellavita. I still feel bleedin' awful but I did pass my test!

ooh congratulations! I prescribe lots of medicinal chocolate .

How's the pg going?

Hey congratulations

Get thee on the settee with your feet up and crack open a big bar of chocolate.

Thanks, I couldn't believe it as I got hit by another car while doing my turn in the road

It wasn't my fault though so I didn't get penalised.

Pg is going fine, second scan next week. I was feeling a lot better after a very nauseous first trimester but this cold has wiped me out and I feel very sorry for myself

Did you manage to keep your cool when your car got hit - I would have opened my big mouth at the other driver without thinking

I was so shocked that I just froze -- I was sure I had just failed! Luckily the examiner was very nice and reassured me straight away that it was the other driver's fault (he reversed off his driveway into me without looking).

Colds while pg are awful, paracetemol just doesn't cut it. Try and get as much rest as you can. Good luck for the scan next week

Thanks EP, how are you feeling?

HUGE. 5 weeks or so to go...
