Ive had a cold/ cough for about 3 weeks driving me mad! Apparently when your preggers your immune system is suppressed and its easier to catch things and harder to get rid of them! hope you feel better soon x

Oh you poor thing I know how you feel! I had the worse cold I've ever had for 2 weeks over xmas and all I could do was suck on soothers and lockets.
If you can, get to a health food place and pick up some ginger, lemon and honey tea. It's quite strong but really clears your head

Here in China they don't let you take paracetamol, either. I read on the net (European & American sites) that it would be ok and tried to buy some when I had a cold for over a week. Every pharmacy straight-out refused to sell me any when I said I was pregnant, and the leaflets inside the packets all have a warning not to take any when pregnant. This is for both Chinese and Western brands (we get brands like Tylenol etc. here).

It's hard to say who's right, but just thought I'd share this. I ended up just waiting it out...lots of hot drinks, honey and fruits...
