For all those "I have a cold/runny nose" posts

I saw this today and thought i would share. I know many girls posted that they had colds early on. (I never had a cold and now I am worried!  j/k!)

From article: 

It is very common at the beginning of your pregnancy to come down with a 'cold'. This is a really healthy sign that indicates your immune system has lowered itself enough for your baby to be accepted by your body. If your immune system were kept too strong, it may think your baby is a foreign body to be dealt with like a virus.
