You can buy tea from holland and barrotts lemon and ginger, and can add honey to it. It's amazing ha! X

ginger- grate it into boiling water, add honey and slice of lemon - tastes delicious and good for headache - I just got over flu myself.

Apparently, according to my midwife, you aren't allowed honey! Something to do with the pollination. I think its nonsense but just thought I'd mention it. I had honey last pregnancy and my wee one turned out fine! I also have a cold and a 1 year old with a cold.... And worst of all a husband with a cold! Xx

I haven't ever heard of not having honey before! It's not on the NHS list of things to avoid so I'm going to assume its safe

As I said.... The midwife said and I thought it was silly. Apparently its a new thing and will be listed but just thought I'd mention it.... They are the ones in the know...

How strange! Sometimes I do wonder if we should just wrap ourselves in cotton wool and not go outside for all the risks... but you're right. I guess it's better to be safe than sorry

Oh hell no I'm with you! I had a smoked salmon sandwich, a craving, the other day and wondered if I would drop down dead because of it... I was fine clearly! I also got told my my health visitor that the runny eggs thing is more Europe but we jumped on the band wagon... If it has a lion on the Egg, its fine. You really get punished in pregnancy haha!
