Being ill sucks. Being ill while heavily pregnant double sucks.

Had a cold, sore throat and cough all weekend and it-is-HELL. Just can't sleep which I was struggling with anyway cos of my big bump. I try to nap during day but cant for all the same reasons. Can't take meds so am gargling salt, sipping hot honey, lemon and ginger... the usual remedies recommended. Doesn't seem to help much.

Only solace is my little baby shouldn't be affected by all this but surely the constant coughing isn't good for her!?

Anyone else been in or in this hell?!

Yup, I have a awful cold at the moment too and I just feel horrible. Luckily, I have some difflam antiseptic mouthwash left over from march when I had a cold, chest infection and tonsillitis at the same time so I'm using that for my throat and olbas oil on tissues trying to clear my cold.. but if I'm honest I feel just as bad even after using it all.

Yep! Had it a week now. I seem to have got more colds and viruses this pregnancy than I normally do! Not being able to take anything sucks!
