Coping with a Cold

I'm not sure what else you can do, Hope your feeling better soon! Look after yourself.

orange juice and garlic...but not together... hot toddy without the whiskey, dont know if they will fix the problem but may make you feel a bit better...

hey i thought u wernt ment to take pain killers during pregnancy...... like the one u mentioned lisa, Panadol.
i heard that it dose harm to ur baby so during this whole prenancy i didnt take ANY painkillers what so ever, and befor i was pregnant i used to take HEAPS on even the minor headace.

oh HONEY dose Wonders!! u should have a taablespoon of honey everyday, i was so pron to get colds and flus ever since my honey dosage i havnt have one since. Manukar Honey is the best.... but whatever u got lying around is great!

hope u get better soon

try a lemon drink.. i use about 20 mls of fresh squeezed lemon juice. 3 teaspoons of sugar, then half fill the cup with cold pure orange juice, and the other half with bioling water.. its a bit sweeter than the usual yucky sour lemon drinks, and it gives you a huge kick of vitamin c.. may not get rid of the cold but makes you feel nice.

Mmm that lemon drink does sound good!!

Thanks for the thoughts guys. Feeling a bit better tonight and managed to get tomorrow off work too.
The doctor on Good Morning this morning agreed Panadol is just fine for us preggy folks the ones to avoid are Nurofen types cos they have other stuff in them (anti-inflammatories?).
You dont even think about the medicines you take until there is someone else to consider. I sort of thought homeopathic stuff would all be safe to use but there is a list a mile long of ones not safe in pregnancy. That list unfortunatly included basically everything in the muscle rub I used to use a lot (oil of cloves, jasmine, eucalyptus).
Anyway I think the best aid so far has been rest, Im lucky my kids are older and can do for themselves a bit. Thanks again

I dont know. Codeine cant be too bad my doc prescribed Panadeine which has it in a month or so ago knowing I was pregnant. But He wouldnt give me antiinflammatories.

Obviously I have bungled this ticker thing can someone tell me how to fix please. I so jealous  of you people who have them I tried to get one too! 

I got it now!! Thanks Angel. Only 125 days to go!

lol i came down with the horrible cold yesterday, half way through my first shift at the hospital.. so angry!

Thanks Karen, still feeling icky, think it's actually getting worse, but then Paris has it too.have now had to put off my placement till december. argh!
