1 day until OTD and I’ve got a cold

I’ve had s cold now for 2days, today bring my 3rd day and OTD is tomorrow. I’m probably being silly but it won’t affect my result tomorrow will it ? 😶

I’m currently using vicks on chest and feet and I’m reluctant to take too much paracetamol even though I’m aware that’s the only medication that’s safe during pregnancy. Any advice is most welcome

Nah it won’t affect your result!

I think it’s best to stick with paracetamol. Honey & lemon are very soothing for a sore throat ( I think it’s better than cough medicine !) Drink lots of fluids & add lots of vitamin c as possible. I find it helps to put boiling water in a bowl & place your face above it with a towel over your head- it sounds odd but can really relieve the congestion.

Rest up as much as possible & hope you feel better soon

And good luck for OTD hope it’s good news xoxo 😘

I don't think it will affect your outcome so try not to worry about that.

I hope you feel better soon and that you have good news tomorrow. xxx
