Full of the cold sore throat chest and cough

I asked the pharmacist when I was around 18 weeks if I could take lemsips and she advised me to just take paracetamol because that’s all that’s in lemsips anyway.🤷🏼‍♀️ maybe ask your GP or midwife I guess everyone is different in what they can take

Thank you ! I’ve actually just done a covid test and it’s come up positive 🤦‍♀️
Does anyone now have any experience of having Covid in pregnancy , baby will be fine won’t he ? x

I have covid, I took a test on the 7th October and it came up as positive. I felt absolutely awful with a sore throat, cough, body aches and I was told to take paracetamol every 6 hours (not 4 like it says on the pack).
What helped me is lots of sleep and I would boil ginger in water then use the infused water as a tea with a whole lemon and 2 tsps of honey.

I was also worried about baby but apparently they’re absolutely fine so if just keep an eye on reduced movements and call triage if you are worried. They still get you to go get checked if you have covid, you just have to wear a mask x

omg thank you so much as I have just googled 34 weeks pregnant with Covid and it came up with horrific answers ! I shouldn’t have googled at 4 in the morning 🤦‍♀️ u have really helped thank you xx

I did exactly the same when I found out I had it but to be honest it’s probably the best time to get it as it means you won’t have it when it’s time for labour!
Your body will create the antibodies for it so fingers crossed we won’t be getting it again this winter 😊
Hope you recover soon xx

that did cross my mind yeah ! Would be even more miserable having this going into labour ur right ! Thank you lovely xx

Don’t take the max strength! If you google it it tells you there’s something in it that’s not safe!! I have had a horrible cough with sore throat for 2 weeks now and advised just to take paracetamol and drink honey and lemon. Ended up a chest infection so on antibiotics finally!
