Does anyone else keep getting flu like symptoms whilst pregnant?

I had this cough from weeks 12-18 then by week 18 I had an awfully sore throat and my nose was clogged up. I’ve just had about 4-5 days with just a mild cough and now I’ve woken up with a ridiculously sore throat and feeling like I have the flu again 😖

Yes! I’m 22 weeks and during my entire pregnancy so far I’ve had a clogged nose and sore throat.

yes 🥲 i'm nearing the end now but my whole pregnancy i've had a really stuffy nose (it's because of the extra blood circulation! your blood vessels in your nose swells, it's completely normal) and other flu or cold symptoms. Sore throats too are completely normal and can be from a lot of things. I gave myself a sore throat at first just from coughing too much because of the acid reflux 💀 so it's totally normal and it sucks but you learn what works for you and how to work around some of it. I take lots of hot showers now to help me breathe a bit better, do facial massages to ease some of the tension and swelling, drink hot teas/cocoa/cider, and got used to reclining at night to avoid that burning in my throat lol
