Honey and lemon in hot water? It's so tough being ill when you're pregnant. Hope you're feeling better soon xx

I’m pregnant with a cough to. It sucks!

Drink loads of water throughout the day. You need to drink a lot more than normal as it will help thin out and clear any mucus you may have.

Vix vapour rub is safe on your chest and throat to help you sleep.

If you have a sore throat I also recommend having hot lemon and honey.

You can have some throat sweets such as Soothers or halls but not proper medicated lozenges. Check the packet to be sure.

Drink orange juice, eat healthy, take your pregnancy vitamins to boost your immune system and help you fight it.

The only other thing is rest, rest, rest. Hope you feel better soon xx

Vicks in chest throat I do back and soles of feet with socks on and works a treat. Also drink more as helps with the thinning of the crap cough produces. If like me u dont like honey or lemon have a hot squash they r just as soothing and tasty xx

I have found putting a blob of Vicks on the wall when I’m in the shower really helps with decongestion. Or you could do steam inhalation to help loosen the mucus up. X
