Keep getting sick

I swear my immune system goes on vacation when I'm pregnant! I catch everything and it's super annoying! I have a cold now that is lasting forever and I've already had the flu. Add that to morning sickness and I don't think I have had more than a week where I haven't been sick! Anyone else have this problem (misery loves company, right?)?! Or have tips on how to kick my immune system into gear?

    Vitamin C and lots of fruit and veggies and honey and lemon in boiling water always works a treat for me

    Your immune system does go on vacation when you get pregnant! It helps protect the baby, but stinks for you. I'm sorry you are feeling so bad. Perhaps you could try Emergen-C? Make sure you are eating healthy and getting as much rest as possible.

    My physician actually does not recommended supplements like Emergen-C. I would go for natural vitamin C in fruits and veggies, lots of water, and prenatals.

    Vitamin D! Liquid drops absorb well but I personally am a big proponent of good quality Fermented Cod Liver oil daily. I've been around a ton of sick people at work and at home without catching anything. Last year the only time I got sick was when I forgot to supplement right away during the winter. Extra C never hurts either! Processed sugar also lowers my immune system response.
