i am 22 weeks and have had a cold since day 1! its because your body increases its fluids so you will feel like you have always got a cold xxxNeed some advice.... Well im 10 weeks pregnant and i feel im starting to get sick witha cold...?
I feel your pain. I'm dealing with one right now at 26 weeks. You can take cough drops, Vicks etc. Apparently honey, lemon and hot water is supposed to help your throat. Stay away from ginseng (like cold fx pills) and echinacea, zinc and too much vitamin C. Basically you're going to have to suffer it out :( I went to the pharmacy to ask the pharmacist for a recommendation and she refused (I'm guessing she didn't want to be liable for suggesting medication to a pregnant woman).
try honey or boil ginger in fresh milk
If your throat is scratchy drink honey mixed in hot water. It was recently in the news that cold meds don't work and honey was the best relief for coughs and sore throats.





Cold meds won't prevent you from getting sick or cure your cold, they just temporarily relieve your symptoms.





It could also be allergies they tend to be worse during pregnancy.
The best thing to do is call your doctor and ask what if any medication you can take for now try running a vaporizer and rubbing vicks on you it will not harm the baby.
in 7 months now and i always get very sick in the winter somethings that helped me were drinking teas...anything decaff or herbal herbal is better because decaff still contains some caffeine, but anything hot that will sooth the throat, you can also take eccinachea but just while you have a cold its not an herb you want to take everyday for a really long period of time...and i know it sound grouse but flush you sinuses with salt water it will help so much to get all that gunk out...do it while you in the shower cause it gets messy just tip your head back and pour salt warm salt water down your nasal passage and kinda make a gargle noise to open your throat...also Vics is helpful and nasal sprays that are just a saline solution to medications added..hope this helps and feel better
the best advice i can give is rest! Maybe take some paracetomol??





I am 10 weeks also. :-)





Good luck
I started getting a cold when I was about 6-7 months pregnant. I, like you, did not want to take OTC cold meds, so I drank LOTS of OJ. I mean, LOTS! That's the only thing I drank. Of course, I still got the cold, but it was no where near as bad as it could have been. Hope you feel better.
theres nothing really you can do you just have to put up with it for your babies sake all you can reall use for you throat is sothers or halls
