Cold&flu Pregnancy question?
So I am just curious, is it normal to have cold symptoms, really congested, chills, normal cold symptoms in the 4th or 5th week of pregnancy? I don't ever get colds, so I was wondering, I thought I read somewhere that its normal and from pregnancy.

You may just be coming down with a cold. When i found out i was pregnant, i of course came down with a cold. Its so ironic. On the other hand, it is common to have congestion and lots of it. A lot of women get cold during the beginning of their pregnancy. It is those hormones you will learn to love!!

your immune system is lowered during pregnancy so yes, it is quite normal to catch a bug during early pregnancy... its not the actual pregnancy that is making u feel like this, its cuz u have caught a bug...

Prob is the cold as your immune system isnt as good. But women during pregnancy can get a stuffed nose, its very common but as for the chills pregnant women can get these when there very dehydrated.

Sounds like you've got a cold bug...Your immune system is suppressed during your pregnancy to protect the baby so its normal to get sick. If you begin to run a fever...you may want to call your doc (your OB), cause he/she may want to see you personally and prescribe you antibiotics.
