i was allowed to take bisolven chesty tablets.
but check with the pahrmacist.

i couldnt taken the liquid as it contains alcohol of some sort but the tablets dont.

I had a similar problem earlier in my pregnancy. The pharmacist said there was NOTHING I could take. I ended up going to the GP and they prescribed ventolin (like an asthama puffer) which gave me some reflief. Ventolin is very safe in pregnancy.

Yes coughing while pg is horrible - my poor poor pelvic floor was exhausted. Hope that doesn't happen to you....

Thanks all... will head off to the chemist and chat to the pharmacist.

No No don't! Head to the greengrocer!

I bet you won't do it, but this works.

Slice an onion.
Get a jar - put a good layer of honey down, then a layer of onion - repeat like lasagne for a few layers. Press it all down, leave it overnight (or a few hours), pour the honey off (strain if you need to) then take a spoonful whenever you need it.

I NEVER need to buy cough stuff. It doesn't work anyway and this stuff really does.
