Hello all,

I am 29 weeks pregnant and have a dry-ish cough with a little bit of very thick flem and chest tightness (sorry for TMI!) I normally get this cough during winter for a week or two (Dr has checked it out in past years - it's nothing serious). Its really annoying - coughing makes me exhausted and it's hard to work (as work involves talking!). I went to the chemist and the "pharmacy assistant" said that I was not allowed any cough syrups at all.

I was a bit sceptical of this. Has anyone else had cough medicines in pregnancy? Should I visit a different chemist to try my luck? What else can I do?

Ta!

Ruth
