With both my babies I got really nasty colds towards the end which just panicked me 'cos I thought how am I gonna breath let alone huff and puff through labour. I think the only thing they can give you is paracetamol but maybe also steaming - check with your Midwife that this is OK though 'cos I can't remember for sure. Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry to hear that. DONT TAKE ANY OVER THE COUNTER MEDICATIONS!!
Try green tea w/ honey... will soothe your throat and provide antioxidents.
Chicken Soup
Juice, water
Take a warm bubble bath (to soothe you and the warmth with clear your sinuses)
Try Vicks on your chest
You can also have cough drops, but honey works better anyways.
SLEEP, SLEEP, SLEEP
Hope you feel better, congradulations and good luck!!

try gargleing salt water, it helps with the sore throat, when I was pregnant the dr told me that Tylenol poducts were safe, try Tylenol cold, it helped with me - congratulations and good luck

You can take anything tylenol. When I was pregnant I was always getting colds. What worked best for me was Tylenol Cold and Flu Nightime. It's the best! I was better the next day!

Your doctor can answer this question personally for you. I know the danger in to keep him lookedup it would become very expensive plus I dont think anyone wants that kind of responsibility,

This late in your pregnancy you might be out of luck. Call your doctor though. If they have nothing for you just try to get as much rest as you can. You are gonna need it.

Call your OB/GYN. What was considered safe years ago when *I* was pregnant is no longer. If anything, call your local emergency room and ask the attending nurse there. If she's worth her paycheck, she'll tell you...

I would recommend that you go and visit your doctor. Remember some medication might be harmful to your baby.
