Full of cold

[carlyb]

Hi All,

I am in my 6th wk of pregnancy and full of cold, along with sickness and tummy twinges and feeling exhausted! it's knocked me so much I slept for 13 hours last night and have had to miss work today because I feel so bad. I had a missed miscarriage last year so a bit nervous about taking tablets etc. Does anyone have any remedies that work to clear out the cold?
Thanks Carly

I had one last week (I'm 34 weeks). Honestly staying off work, sleep, warm showers and throat lozenges are about all you can do without meds. Hope you feel better soon.

@carlyb also in bed with a horrible cold. Midwife said paracetamol is fine but no other medicines. I'm drinking lots of honey and lemon and sleeping lots. Feel better soon.

Keep sleeping, keep missing work, don't feel guilty - you've got look after yourself and l1tb. Steam/vicks/showers to clear the sinuses if that works for you.

Thanks all I will try that! ☺️
