Ladies suffer no more - went to see my GP yesterday after days of suffering with runny nose, streaming and itchy eyes, tickly throat, sneezing fits and tiredness on top of the existing tiredness - GP prescribed me Beclometasone Dipropionate Aqueous nasal Spray - today I am feeling so much better!

I popped into the chemist today and he said he would never give a nasal spray to a pregnant woman because they are just steroids and can be "consumed" by the baby! He did give me a homeopathic remedy called Kali Suplh 6!

He also said i am not to take piriton!! Great!!

I do have to say that the nose probes DO work! i have had 3 sessions with mine now and my nose is feeling less congested! Yippeee!!

Pontypine - thanks I had better check the Nasal Spray out - you just assume that as GP has prescribed it, it must be ok?

Nasal spray just isn't doing it for me any more. I feel awful, the coughing is pulling at the muscles of my bump and I've already had one asthma attack (my first in years). Back to the doctor I think....
