Sorry to hear you are feeling unwell Louise. I started feeling really poorly on monday this week with really high temperature and my whole body ached. By Tuesday i started with a really bad cough too, so i went to see GP who advised paracetamol, plenty of rest and plenty of fluids like water. I did have some Halls Soothers too, when my throat got really sore, but to be honest i have had to just see the whole thing out. Today i'm just about feeling back to normal apart from having slight deafness in one ear, so fingers crossed for you that you will feel loads better soon. Make sure you have someone to pamper you too xxx
 
I also have a very bad cough and am actually seeing a doctor later as Im also asthmatic and struggling to breath.

Coughing will not harm your baby though - I already asked this question!!
 
I had the same last week. Went to the GP and asked if I could take anything for the cough. He said no and I burst out crying.. Poor doctor did not know what to say :)

Hope you start feeling better soon!!
 
Sounds like you ladies have been proper suffering! Hope you all get well soon! :hug:
 
i've been ill too, coughing hurts doesn't it :( however your not harming your baby, your emune system is down atm becasue more of your emune system goes to the baby so baby will be nice and safe tuckked in your womb :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
