Post subject: Got a cold Hi all
Coming up to 16 weeks pregnant and still feeling very tired, thankfully thats all my first trimester had for me apart from cramps. Now I have a bad cold and I dont want to take any paracetomol. Just want to know if I can use that new 4head stick that you put on your forehead, like a balm? If i could just get rid of my headache I can deal with the rest..just! Thanks in advance Portmum x Posted: Fri Mar 14, 2008 2:30 pm
Post subject: hi portmum, i'm not sure about those headstick things.. i'd maybe check with your midwife. Are they herbal? I think u have to be careful with certain oils and stuff dont u!?
Sorry i'm not being very helpful LOL xx Posted: Fri Mar 14, 2008 2:45 pm
Post subject: Make sure you don't have a fever. A fever can be harmful to the baby and paracetamol might be a good idea.
If it's jut a headache I find that putting my head over a bowl of steaming water with a towel over it helps unblock the nose allowing for breathing and then I lay down in the dark with a cool towel over my forehead.
