Coughs and Colds in Pregnancy
I also have a beautiful yet energetic 3-year-old, which isn't helping matters - partly why I am exhausted.
Is there anything I can do/take to ease the symptoms - more of the cough than anything?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Just did a quick google and come up with the following:
You can make an excellent soothing natural cough remedy by mixing equal parts honey and lemon juice (fresh or Real Lemmon in the bottle). Take a tablespoonful every couple of hours to soothe the soreness.
If you also have a little congestion you can add some whiskey, gin or vodka with the above mixture - usually one part alcohol with two parts of the honey and lemon mixture. Keep your natural cough remedy in the refrigerator.
Hope it helps :-)
Awe thats a bummer to be sick when you have a baby in the tummy.. Well I would stay away from and dairy because it is flem producing...
I would take hot showers and just sit down and breath in the steam and clear your self out...
good luck my dear.. drink some tea.. (none caffine) and just tell your self it cant last...
GOOD LUCK !!! jen
If it's really getting you down, visit your GP. Don't forget a happy mum is a happy baby!
Hi Otrere, I am six and 1/2 months and had the same/similar thing you had about 3 weeks ago, after speaking to the chemist and checking all my books, I went with effervescent/soluble paracetamol as they enter and leave you system quicker than normal paracetamol. As for lozenges, Olbas oil etc there is nothing to say you can't have them they are all menthol, eucalyptus etc and contain no drugs so they won't affect baby.
Good luck
