Granted I have only been PG for about 7 weeks, but I have had a cold or some crud virus the whole time! I'll be so glad for Spring when this crap goes away! Who else has been feeling crummy? It isn't harmful to baby, is it???

    Colds don't pass through the placenta to the baby so she/he will be none the wiser. I was sick early this week (coughing like crazy which would cause my m/s to become awful)but luckily it was only a two day thing. What are you doing to make yourself feel better?

    congestion is pretty common in pregnancy. and yes, i have a stuffy nose and i lost my voice. so, it is probably nothing but if you start to run a fever that is when you need to be more careful

    I am just trying to rest more. I am too freaked to take any medicine. Resting is hard, though, since I work full time and have a toddler!

    I've had it REALLY bad for 2 weeks.  Finally I called the Dr. and they recommended Tylenol Sinus.  It's the only thing that's helped.  We tried a humidifier and it didn't do much.

    I didn't have an actual cold but I had the congestion that can come with pregnancy for the entire first 3 months of my 1st pregnancy. Not fun at all. :(

    I have always had a warm humidifier that I use when I'm sick but DH went out and got me a cool mist humidifer and it really did help me- I could actually breath in the morning (found out the humidity in our bedroom was only about 23% and it's recommended to stay around 45% so I was having a hard time breathing). I made sure to drink oj, eat warm soup and just took it easy. Feel better soon!

    yes! I think it's the flu, because I've been out of work all week.

    My doctor said that my immune system isn't functioning normally because of the pregnancy
