For those who had a cold while pregnant
How long did it last?? I'm on my 4th full day and it doesn't seem to be getting any better... ugh... I should have never complained about 1st trimester morning sickness LOL. Because now 1st trimester with cold... it is so much worse!!

Re: For those who had a cold while pregnant
I had a cold for what seemed like forever! It was definitely over a week long, that's for sure! I think it was about 8 or 9is days in total. I asked my Dr about this and she confirmed that it takes pregnant women longer to fight these things off because our immune system is weakened. Hope you feel better soon!

Re: For those who had a cold while pregnant
I would say easily a week or two - and honestly I feel like I never got back to being 100% - I still wake up a bit stuffy from time to time but I am mostly better.

Re: For those who had a cold while pregnant
You may just want to go to the doctor to have her check your chest and lungs. I had a cold that turned into pneumonia in a week back in October. I recently got another cold and went back just to have her check it out again to make sure. You can never be too careful.
