  • I don't believe so. Is just rubbish for you as you cannot really take anything to make yourself better.

    Hubby and I both have a cold atm so I bought him loads of stuff for it today so he can at least sleep well (and not wale me up moving about all frustrated and coughing image ).

    Hope you feel better soon!

  • Thanks spring, I hope you and hubby feel better soon!



    its rubbish not being able to take anything but im just taking it easy the best I can.

  • No it won't hurt the baby as long as you don't take any over the counter remedies or inhalers without checking with a pharmacist. I had an awful one last time and there's a few things you can do safely



    Fill a bowl or sink with very hot water and inhale the steam (put a towel over your head)

    Take paracetamol

    Drink hot honey and lemon if you're throat is sore

    Take multi vitamins as they may boost you up a bit

    Have extra vitamin C by drinking orange juice



    I hope you feel better soon xx
