Move over Man Flu, Pregnancy Cold is in town!

I feel crap.
Seriously awful!

My eyes are watering, my nose alternates between blocked and freeflow, I ache all over (and at 30wks pregnant I was aching BEFORE this!), my sinus’ ache, my head aches, I have a nasty cough and I appear to have swallowed razor blades.
So considering this, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to be pissed off!

I send my 4 year old off into the wide world to get an education, and what does he bring home? The School Sniffle…. the cold of whose origins are unknown, that for the Child is a mere sniffle but for those lucky enough to share an abode with said Child, it is a rip roaring stonking cold. (Thinking of contacting Ofsted citing this spreading of germs as unnecessary homework).


And the worst, the very worst….. I can take anything for it! Oh no sorry, I can take paracetamol (wow!). 

So I am writing this as a shameless bid for sympathy and if there are pregnancy angel, safe remedy advice. Just look at the photos – how can you NOT feel pity? Please take a mo to share any good pregnancy cold survival tips!

Atchooo!

  1. Oh no!! 🙁 and I've been moaning about my cold , it's horrible being ill when pregnant!! I really hope your feeling better soon!! (((hugs))) xx

  2. I've had the same cold for 3 and a half weeks (am also 30 weeks pregnant). I ron't think I feel as bad as you – though I wasn't far off last weekend – but it's just dragging on SO long.A friend has given mensome blackberry vinegar (dilute with warm water) to try. I haven't checked with anyone medical but assume it can do no harm.
