Fell sick in my 1st trimester

[timdob]

Hi,

I’m a first time mummy and very ignorant about everything there is to know about pregnancy.

I’m currently having a very bad cough and cold and I’m 6 weeks pregnant.

Would be great if any one can share their experience if it’s safe to take medicine in the first trimester? Doc prescribe antibiotic to me as well.

Thanks in advance!

Did you share with the Dr you’re pregnant? If yes, the medicine he prescribe should be the mild kind & safe for pregnancy.

Otherwise, go for TCM which gives milder medicine.

Hi Missy Snowman,

Yes I did tell doc ahead during consultation.

Thanks for re-assuring!

That’s good thinking. I should have thought of that. Think I’ll stop all other med and just finish up with the antibiotic. Rest to go for natural remedies or TCM.

Lots of water and rest! I don’t want to take meds too during pregnancy so gargling with warm salt water for sore throat and taking honey lemon drink. Most important get lots of sleep!
