Cold

Hey ladies! Been so good all pregnancy to not be ill (morning sickness aside!) and just this week picked up an awful cold. All my normal go to’s I can’t have due to the pregnancy or the gestational diabetes - hot honey and lemon was always a winner but the honey spikes my sugars 🥺 any suggestions as to how to shift it? I’m so congested, coughing on and off and have bad headaches. Sleeping is a bit of a nightmare!

Oh I'm the same atm its horrible! I'm exhausted and cant sleep

I got quite a bad cold a couple of weeks ago. Sorry to be so negative but nothing really helped apart from staying off work to avoid any more germs getting in my system. One thing I would recommend which can help with congestion is salt spray. Hope you feel better soon 💕 xx

Vicks do a steam inhaler, and you can buy a similar one on Amazon, you put menthol crystals in them and it’s the only thing that provided me with a bit of relief from congestion. Hope you feel better soon!

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
