Aww, sounds like you're really suffering

When I'm under the weather I always have a long bath before bed with drops of either olbas oil (would have to check if its ok in pregnancy, I'm not sure and luckily haven't needed to use it), or lavender oil in it. Then add a few drops of lavender on my pillow, or a tissue close to my pillow to help me sleep. Sometimes works a dream, sometimes doesn't, but never fails to make me feel at least a little bit better.

Hope you find something to help.

Ahhh the colds at the moment are real lingering ones, hopefully with your work finishing soon and a rest over xmas you will be in a good state to recover, are you taking multivitamins or vitamin C, try lots of vit c in things, juice etc, really gives your imune system a boost, elsp in this cold weather - hope you feel a bit better by friday for xmas eve x
