  • I think it sounds like you have a cold. I've never heard of pregnancy causing a sore throat or cough. Get some rest and use Tylenol if you need to.

  • 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!

    But yeah, sounds like a cold. Take care of yourself, get rest, and drink fluids.

  • 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!
