got a cold, miserable and awake since 4

[icklekid]

So fed up and bunged up, started last night and totally rotten now! Only 8 weeks pg so don't think I can take anything any advice? Have to be at work Mon...that will be fun!

I've been the same for the past week. It peaked Wed/Thurs and much improved since Friday evening. Paracetamol is safe to take- lived on Panadol cold and flu hot lemon drinks (and sneaky lunchtime naps) at work. That, soft tissues, vicks vaporub shoved up my nose and regression to a helpless 5 year old requiring regular hugs from DP as soon as I got home in the evening. Sending you my sympathy!

I haven't got a cold but have been bunged up for weeks, especially in the night. It's apparently quite common in pregnancy but is doing my head in. I'm not the best sleeper anyway and this is making it worse!

I was bunged up from about 9 weeks. I'm now just over 21 weeks and it is only just starting to get better

I too have had a bunged up nose from around 8 weeks (now 20 weeks) and the only thing that gets me through the night is those breath right strips, they are my new best friend! They help you get a good nights sleep which helps. Hope you feel better soon!
