    In my experience with pregnancy I was always told not to take anything for the first 12 weeks!

    However,the last time I was pregnant was 6 years ago,and perhaps there is something on the market you can take now..

    If you give a quick ring to the hospital or your doctor and see what they can suggest.

    Get better soon.

    You can use a teakettle and gently inhale the steam to unclog your head. You can use Vicks in the steam or just put a bit under your nose. You can gargle with warm salt water for the sore throat. All these remedies are with no meds involved.

    That's a great idea above,but be careful using any natural remedies like lavander,without checking the dose first.
