So I'm 19w pregnant and I have had a pretty bad cold for the past week. Laying on my side gets clogs my nose so bad and irritates my throat but I'm not supposed to sleep on my back 😠is there anything that helps anyone else with this issue or do I just have to suffer?

I'm struggling too. Not taking anything. Gargling salt water too help with my throat. Otherwise I'm just suffering

16w here . struggling here too with allergies .. been taking what i’m allowed to and it’s helping.. it’s not fun with my morning sickness and not being able to breathe. hang in there!

Sorry guys! Get well soon 😢

Ok so I have a few remedy you can try that will help with symptoms. Get you a mason jar and a red onion. Slice the red onion really thin and put it in the jar. Cover the onions with honey and seal the jar for 24 hours. Both onions and honey have natural antioxidants and honey is an antibacterial. It will soothe the throat and help gets the mucus flowing. Also I’m sharing a link for Korean Apple tea (Saegwa Cha) it helped me and a few other family members through COVID and the Flu. Tastes like hot apple pie. You can drink hot or cold. Trust me it helps! Hopefully you get some relief soon!

You don’t have to eat the onions just a spoon full of the honey/liquid should help. Don’t give to babies under 1 year though.

you can sleep on your back, actually, but only in moderation! that’s what my ob told me but be sure to ask yours.

I have congestion my whole pregnancy. I just use saline nasal spray, breath steam, drink herbal tea with honey (watch your herbal teas for pregnancy safe)

Vicks vapor rub has been my best friend!!
