Have managed a healthy pregnancy (aside from mornIng sickness and spd). Then now at 38+5 I get a cold.... Rubbish. Feel like crap and have dd who's grumpy cos she didn't sleep well plus I'm looking after my friends 9 month lot from 9-5... It's gonna be a looooong day

Any magic remedies for my cold???

Yes I have one...Mam used to give it to us when we were young, and its basically to fill you with vit C.

Chop up oranges & lemons ( I put limes in too cos I love the taste of them but you don't have to) WITH the rind on, cos this is where all the vitamins are. Stew them all together with water in a big pot.

Add cloves and ginger.

When its all stewed together and hot, strain it out into a mug, add sugar or honey cos it will be very sour tasting otherwise.

Get into bed, take paracetamol and drink this hot....

Its not going to work first time but if you make a huge pot you can have as much of it as you like over a couple of days and it should do the trick..

Hope you feel better soon x
