Anyone else preggers and full of cold?

[cherryontopp]

Can we have a pity party?

Im 35 weeks, haven't slept for 4 days now.

Temperature
Razor blade throat
Tickly cough
Pressure in ears.

Tried paracetamol and honey and lemon drinks. No difference.

Sick as a pig! Broke up for maternity leave and was hoping to sleep as much as I can before the sleepless nights started....but nooooo.
Been waiting and really excited to get nursery finished and have the pram here, now times came, I i feel too shitty to enjoy it.

Feeling really sorry for myself at the mo.
Anyone else?

Yup.

im only 9 weeks but stuffed full of cold and nice barky cough now - toddler and hubby both have it too and im keeping Milton hand gel in business at this rate.

was same with last pregnancy too - it shall pass but speak to chemist or doctor if you think you need something to shift it or its gone to chest etc.

And you have a toddler to look after? i thankfully just have my man child

I've got a doctor's appointment on tuesday where ill be moaning for sick note upto my maternity leave. Haven't got the strength any more!

Im in the same boat! Im now 40+11 with induction booked for tomorrow, ive had this cold for nearly 3 weeks and have a 17 month old suffering too, luckily my DH has an immune system of the gods so theres been no man flu, we found calpol plug ins to be helpful and ive used the cold as an excuse for a long steamy bath everyday so thats been a plus but dreading giving birth while only being able to mouth breath

I feel you... However I'm only 6 weeks. I'm only just starting to get over it now. It has been hell! 2.5weeks of severe cold symptoms and nausea on top of that. And no pain relief! My dr told me I couldnt even take paracetamol

Toddler just wipes her nose on us and runs round mental, hubby has PKD so he's unwell atm anyway and hospital maybe Tuesday.

Calpol plugins are bloody awesome - expensive but worth it. We have on downstairs and one in nursery, Amazon do deals sometimes with them and they do work.

Also try Olbas Oil on a hanky underneath your pillow case and a few drops on a wet cloth over radiator will help too.

This is my first cold in maybe 4 years so not to bad health wise but I knew it would hit me the moment I fell pregnant lol

Me too! I'm 16+4 and feeling dreadful with a horrible cold. I just can't sleep at night either as it's so much worse when I lie down-I ended up having an uncomfortable night propped up on the sofa most of last night. Dreading going into work tomorrow! Is Olbas Oil safe to use? I have some but had been avoiding using it

Yep. It's horrid. The only thing that seems to help me is to inhale some Vix vaporub- helps me sleep x

I’m only 5 weeks and I have a beaut of a sinus infection. Been to pharmacist tonight (earliest can get docs appt is wed) and been told only thing I can take is paracetamol feeling bit sorry for myself too! Sending sympathy!!

29 weeks and just getting over it. Still loads of crap on my chest but no longer feel ill. Started day after Boxing Day!
Can't remember last time I was so poorly, they weren't lying when they said you get it worse during pregnancy!
