Hi ladies just wondering if someone can help.. I've woke up today not feeling to good and as the day…

I have read online that Vicks vabour rub is not good during pregnancy as you can only inhale a certain amount or it can be dangerous so may be best to check this before using x

My doctor said against vicks or anything similar. She told me put hot water only into a bowl and use a towel over your head to inhale the steam which should help. But other then that it's best not to use anything your unsure about @clairey paracetamol is the only medication advised aswel x

Thank you.. I've read somewhere though that even paracetamol should be avoided. it's hard knowing what u can and can't have.. gutted I won't be able to use Vicks though x

If can I would agree avoiding anything would be the best. But paracetamol is only recommended to keep temperature down as high temperatures can be harmful to baby too. It does make you worry about what you can and can't do. @clairey x

Rubbing Vicks on your feet then wearing socks is fine. My midwife told me that's the best way as you're not inhaling it and my Nan has always sworn by putting it on your feet. It worked for us as kids

@nashkay, thank you!!! :)

paracetamol is fine, honey, lemon and hot water all the way. Try to drink plenty of water and get lots of rest. I felt like this early pregnancy, worst cold I ever had and it took ages to get rid of. But if you don't have to get out of bed, don't! Hope you feel better soon xXx

It's actually bitter sweet that I have this cold now because I have a week off work so I can rest and hopefully get myself better however that wasn't how I was planning on spending my week lol xx

Thanks for all your replies though :) really helpful! xx
