This is getting silly..

[BellaRiven]

For the last week I have been fighting a huge cough and cold, I have been drinking orang juice by the bucket load, I have been drinking Lemon and Honey by the bucket load, taking paracetamol every 4 hours, I'm concerned the extended usage is hurting baby.

To top it all off though hubby had to go an sleep in the other room last night because the snoring was so bad!!!!!!!!, I need something that is going to keep my head/nose clear at night time so I actually get to sleep in the same room as him!!

Does anyone have any suggestions, to be honest it is starting to P*** me off a bit........

i still have a cough from my cold i had like 4 weeks ago, i just can't get rid! its so annoying!! xxx

Agh... Sounds awful... Don't know if vics is a no no in pregnancy?!? But why not see if it's ok to put a blob in a bowl with some hot water, and breath it in with a towel over your head... Even doing this without the vics, the steam from the hot water might help. Just be careful you don't get too hot, or dizzy. Maybe you could ring nhs24, see if they could suggest anything else x

I was going to suggest the same as Lolly. Steaming bowl with vics - though some pharmacies are more fussy about it then others.

I go to bed with vics smothered on my chest most nights, haven't actually checked if it's a no no but can't see why it would be!! It helps me! Even after having my flu jab I've still picked up the odd sniffle and this late on find it hard to breathe at the best of times! Xx

If cold not shifting get checked hun. I'm back in.hospital after horrendous cold led to pneumonia and was effecting bump badly! Xx

Hey Maria

I went and got little man checked the other day as he wasn;t moving much! , I thought it was just down to the cold and I rang them up to ask if there was anything else I could take and they asked how often baby had moved which I am normally really on the ball with and I realised it had been a coupla days so they said to come in and get checked over and all was fine He had 1 millisecond heart rate dip, literally less than a second and it came back up and stayed that way thankfully.

I am keeping an eye on it though to make sure it doesn't progress to anything else

I have had a constantly stuffy nose since being pregnant, so that coupled with the fact that I can only sleep comfortably on my back means the snoring is bad! Hubby slept in other room the other night as he drives for a living so needs his sleep, and he's not sleeping when I'm snoring! Only thing that helps me is propping myself up into a half sitting half laying position. Don't know whether you have tried that? xx
