The title says it all. I'm 15 weeks pregnant and I've been suffering with a horrid head cold for the past two days. What can I take to make me feel semi-human?

Unfortunately nothing with decongestant or ibuprofen as they're bad for baby. Aspirin is fine, as are paracetamol or paracetamol w codeine if you've got a headache. For bungy nose, the only thing you can do is inhale some steam from a bowl with a towel over your head. It's horrible having a cold and not being able to take decongestant. Hope you get well soon.

olbas oil on your pillow at night, hot water with honey and lemon and paracetamol if you want, I didn't take the paracetamol, but found the hot water with honey and lemon good

Midwife said that was about it
