Any tips for anything I can take whilst pregnant with a cold. I am struggling to breathe and I am asthmatic. Also the blocked nose is making me feel sick.
 
I wouldn't suggest taking any medicines without a doctors say so. I always suffer hayfever while pregnant never otherwise. I use olbas oil ( the baby one) in warm water and sometimes if breathing very difficult I put some drops on my pillow at night. I hope your cold improves soon xx
 
Take some paracetamol - it's perfectly safe in pregnancy!

Get some lemons, have hot water with lemon juice in it (add a bit of sugar to make it sweeter) You can also use oranges for Vitamin C, but lemons are better I think.

Drink plenty of water, bananas are great for giving you energy.

Get as much rest/sleep as you can.


Put your head over a hot bowl of water, put a towel over your head and breathe in deeply - or have a very steamy shower.


Good luck! I hope you feel better soon.
