voice!! And it took my DH over 1/2 hour to get that my miming this morning was not playing a game ROFL. The kids barely understand my gestures and I feel miserable.
DH is tired I have laryngitis Hannah and Briona have a cold (what I had yesterday) but Hannah also has a sensitive tummy so she has not been keeping her food down this morning Kryssi is bored and wants someone to play with!! All this at the end of a week holiday from work but I have a feeling I won't be going back to work tomorrow as planned! 
Anyway, aside from panadol and lemon honey drinks, is there anything I can do? I presume that because it's viral, there's nothing a dr can do for the laryngitis. Oh and is nurofen safe in pg'cy? I forgot. -------------  |

No you can't take nurofen, sorry. There isn't much you can take when preggy, DH went to get me some cough syrup a couple of weeks ago and the pharmacist even said no to that I would just stick to the lemon and honey drinks and maybe buy some halls or something, they aren't as potent as strepsils, something else the pharamacist said I couldn't have without clearing it with a doc first.
Hope you all feel better soon, and LOL at your DH thinking you were playing a game. -------------

Strepsils are totally fine to take. I asked my MW when I was preggy with Josh and she said they are totally fine. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Hey. You can have Comvita lozenges. They're safe for use during pregnancy and gluten free plus they're made with manuka honey so naturally antibacterial. -------------

I feel your pain Teresa. I have had the same thing for nearly a week - I have the husky-0900 thing going on now. Have had 3 weeks off work and was supposed to go back yesterday but had to ring in sick. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Woah Janine don't tell me that!! The pain is worse today and I still have very little voice, today I've got as far as trousers on but still wearing a dressing gown on top  We're all going to the dr's at 2pm.
This really sucks cause I had last week off as annual leave, and me included there are only 3 secretaries at work!! Makes me feel pretty bad but if I can't eat (I'm basically sticking with liquids - and those lozenges - for my throat's sake) then there's no way I can be at work. ------------- |
