Hey guys.... first off congratulations is in or to everyone because since your on here you made it and your preggers..... I have been trying for 5 months and gave up and to my surprise the month I gave up it happen I'm 5 weeks pregnant. I'm having symptoms galore. So Monday on my birthday I had a scratchy throat signs of a cold... now today I woke up with a bad cough my body feels exhausted and runny nose... is this normal and 5 weeks what can I do to get better I am a elementary teacher I work with kids and germs every day. .. what should I do... I know the pregnancy is prolly making me tired UT what about every thing else
Yeah, from what I've read it seems like your body shuts down a bit of its immune system when you're pregnant so that the body doesn't reject your fetus, but as a result getting colds are quite normal. I'd also recommend getting a flu shot (if you haven't already--as a teacher I'm betting you're all over that) when you feel better. I hope you do feel better soon!
I weep for our future, if you truly are an elementary school teacher.
But yeah, sounds like a cold. Take care of yourself, get rest, and drink fluids.
Your inside voice got out. This is a little harsh and rude.

I have actually been really congested and had post nasal drip since the day before I got my BFP almost 2 weeks ago. I thought it was a cold but I never developed any other cold symptoms so who knows!
