To get a good night sleep and help stop the coughing, cut an onion in half and place it on a saucer in your bed room. It works to ease the cough and you will get a good nights sleep. ( You might need to air your room out the next day thou)

I still swear by Lemon and Honey Hot Drinks.

I make my own 'cause I've heard that taking Lemsip during pregnancy isn't real good. I also find that a spoonful of honey is a nice and soothing for a sore, rough throat.

I have also sucked on Vicks Vapour Drops to soothe a tickly throat and I believe they are safe to take during pregnancy.
