One of the first things you learn when you're pregnant is that there is a handful of things you cannot do...
One of the most memorable of these is
Nothing else other than paracetamol!
I thought, that'll be fine...
Easy, peasy -who needs to take more than paracetamol.
Turns out I did...
Twice in the past week!
Of course I didn't cause it's important to me that the bump is raised in a healthy and stable womb.
I've had a stinking cold for a while, really nasty, lots of tissues, sneezing, coughing even - all I wanted was Lemsip. Nope, no to Lemsip - they add stuff to it - it's not just paracetamol! So no Lemsip... Which meant I suffered through my first cold in years with nowt. I was not good company!
Then, I suffer from migraines... If you do too you have my utmost sympathy! The best thing that I have found when one appears is, as quickly as possible, to take two pink Migraleave, this means that my eye-sight still goes funny but I escape most of the headache. Of course Migraleave are also a no. Nope, nope, nope.
So yesterday when my eye-sight started to fuzz up I could have burst into tears. I went through my first migraine with only paracetamol to help me through it. I was at home in bed within an hour of it starting and managed to get through the next five hours by alternating my head above and under the pillows...
Bump, I love you to the ends of the earth but please no more migraines!
