Hi Ellen, I am sorry to hear your little one has suffered with a chesty cough for so long. I would say if he has not been seen due to Covid. I would push him to get seen. Even if it is clear, it might put your mind at rest. Like you said it has been a long time. So , maybe just worth a check up.

Hi Alexandra! Gosh any minute now….it will happen, but you have ALL my sympathy. My first was born at 42+1 day - longest wait ever 😭😭I was encouraged to have an induction but respectfully declined. You need to have a look and know your rights under the NICE guidelines, and feel comfortable with your decision. I had a membrane sweep, tried acupuncture, clary sage massage - all the things. I bounced on a north ball for 8 hrs then eventually went into spontaneous labour

Since my little one had Bronchiolitis at 5 months old (he is now 2 and a half) he has suffered with a cough and being ruckly (it sounds like he had mucus on his chest) and he coughs to clear it. I have been the drs but due to COVID (this is constant and it isn’t new) the drs always say we have to go for a COVID test and it always comes back negative. Anyway, should I fight my corner and ask to be seen again for more investigations into it instead of always been told there’s nothing there and it will clear?
