relief for colds during pregnancy

Once again.. I have a cold. I have always been one to get colds easily and usually it's codeine (I get migraines which only get worse while sick), cough medicine and bed. Since being pregnant I have stopped taking any form of medication and only take pregnancy vitamins, but I am running out of ways to treat this damn cold! I have honey and lemon drinks, make chicken soup (from scratch), do the head-over-steam thing, curl up in bed and dress warmly. Still nothing helps. I'm a snotty, moody, cranky pregnant mess and don't want anyone to look at me. Which is no fun. So any tricks and tips to beating colds?

This pregnancy I was the same very early on. I had a mega cough too. The only thing that helped was durotuss which my dr suggested. Maybe ask your doc or pharmacist?

I asked my GP but everything he suggested didn't work, and I don't want to try anything too strong. I guess I'll just stick with fluids and bed rest and hope it goes away soon.

I guess it depends on how far along you are.... I am 38 weeks and have a really bad viral infection and the doc was happy to put me on antibiotics and also a puffer to help me breath..... She did also suggest natural remedies but with only weeks left i need to get rid of this sad
