low immune system 34+6

[mummytobeabs]

hello all I'm just wondering if anyone else got poorly a lot when pregnant.. from around 11 weeks to 30 weeks I had morning and afternoon sickness really bad every morning with out fail, it's mild now but I still am sick every 2-3 days in the morning the docs can't do much about it. I also have had 4 sickness bugs through my pregnancy and a lot of tickle coughs! my immune system seems to be very low and I catch all bugs! does anyone else suffer like this? or is it just normal.. it's my first pregnancy and I am exhausted

thankyou all in advance x

You become immunocompromised in pregnancy. It's normal. It's one of the reasons you should up your basic hygiene practices a bit (not that I'm suggesting you haven't) - not only because you really don't want to be catching things whilst you're pregnant, but because you are also at higher risk than normal of doing so. Hope you feel better soon.

Thankyou,

It is rubbish I have my second chest infection and bout of sinusitis am 29 weeks and waiting to see what I get next
