Oh its horrible when you are pregnant, i really feel for you. Heres what i did:

1. Gargled with salt water for the sore throat (try not to be sick though!)
2. Drank hot blackcurrant squash to sooth tickly throat
3. Bought some olbas oil pastells which are safe during pregnancy.. this helped clear the nose a tiny bit
4. put olbas oil all over the pillows and bedding and a bit on my chest.
5. Make sure you get a box of ultra balm tissues.. they are a godsend..

Hope you feel better soon!
