Question

Are colds common in the first trimster?

Answer 1

they are if you are exposed to the cold virus but that would not have anything to do with your pregnancy

Answer 2

i got sick when i was 9 weeks! i was miserable!!! sneezing, coughing, headache, and a runny nose. i couldn't move! when i forced myself to take a shower, i couldn't blow dry my hair. i was so uncomfortable with my wet hair, i asked my hubby for his hair clippers. i was goin to shave my head. no joke. i was crying and miserable. when my hubby realized i wasn't joking, he offered to blow dry my hair for me... i was happy and went back to bed

Answer 3

I had congestion and cold symptoms through out pregnancy

Answer 4

Yes.  Your immune system isn't as high because of the changes in your body.  I had an ear infection when I was first pregnant.

Answer 5

Absolutely! Your immune system isn't as strong as it was pre-pregnancy and you are more susceptible to colds and other viruses. I had the worst cold at 22 weeks!  

Answer 6

I wouldnt say they are common but you can get one! But you have to ask your doctor which medicines you can take. They only let me take Tylenol.
