hi there i have the same prob all bloked up cant breath troat sore headache the lot an my son is 14 months old an im 22weeks pregnant it is so hard i cant go out cause i suffer with SPD witch plays up in the cold an im struggling to play with my son an i get so upset cause i just wanna sleep and cant so hard but im pushing through ive been takin soothers and lemsip an been told there fine to take

hey i had flu when i was still in my first trimester and went and asked the pharmacist and he said lemsip was absolutely fine to take because it only contains paracetamol!

i hope your colds go soon ladies!!

bumping for ladies with cold

Well I would of asked midwife but I got the dates wrong, its next sunday shes coming ! So I dragged myself out of bed for NOTHING !!!

Still feel rubbish

Thanks for all the advise! im still feelin rubbish but seams to be getting better, just taking sothers hope feel better soon feel really mean not being able to take my little girl out but she spent the weekend with her nanna so i dont feel so bad now! xx

My midwife is coming this morning @ 11am so im going to ask her as when I had a bad cold last time around 8 wks my doctor told me I couldn't take lemsip or any throat sweet

One of my clients who is also pregnant (which im convinced gave me the cold lol) has had it for over two weeks and said the chemist told her she can take nothing !!!

Will let you know what she says, I think there is so much conflicting advice from health professionals, magazines etc when pregnant but if she says i can have a lemsip im going to brew one while she is here !!!

You can use Lemsip flue plus capsules or sachets. I had a bad cold and I had them, my Dad says all the ingredients are fine and he's a doc! x

i've been sucking on soothers as been told they are ok, but not much else you can do. I've had one for over 2 weeks now an with an overly energetic 2yr old its hard work!!

I have the same as you, it came on last night. I am really annoyed as spent all day in bed and still feel rubbish

I have taken a couple of paracetamol and thats it. I don't thnk we can take throat sweets, lemsip etc

Hope you feel better soon xx

nothing you can do for the cold unfortunatly except stick your head over a steaming bowl of water and inhale it might unblock you abit............as for what to do with dd, my dd is also 15 months old and its so hard lately with her being full of cold i took her out yesterday without a hat and gloves as they were off by the time i got to the front door! hates wearing them! so she freezes ..................anyway have you tried sitting her down with crayons and paper and letting her draw or our new game is teaching what an animal does my dd's favourite is a cat she now crawls round going meow........or the latest one is a crocodile if i ask her what a crocodile does shes claps her hands and shouts snap which she thinks this is loads of fun just dont do a cow they seem sto laugh at the word moooooo
