I'm a first time mom, 5w2d pregnant, and have a bit of a sore throat and runny nose. It's making my stomach upset as well. Any natural remedies out there besides warm salt water (gargle), OJ, and hot water with lemon?
I'm pretty much in the same boat lol. Cold season and pregnancy combined sucks I've been suffering with the same cold symptoms for several weeks (I'm 8w2d) but I've only found the same remedies, plus a lot of hot soup lol. Just thought I'd say I feel your pain.
Pregnancy can also swell the mucus membrane in your nose, making you feel stuffy all the time. My best friend, through both of her pregnancies was stuffed up the whole time. I'm really hoping that doesn't happen to me, and it's just a cold I've been fighting off...
Best thing to do all around is get lots of rest, and eat well.
