I feel like I’ve had either the same cold or a series of colds for 4-5 weeks. I don’t think it is the same cold as I had one, thought it might be flu (as made me feel weak) and went to dr but she said it was just a cold, then, maybe 2 week’s later I had another one come on (marked by sore throat) and now I still have a cold, either the same or another...

At the minute I have a runny nose and I’m sneezing and been coughing through the night. The runny nose and sneezing is worst first thing. Coughing worst at night.

I do get hay fever and obvs haven’t been having antihistamines so it could be hay fever? I also had a dust allergy which is kind of like hay fever all year round but I don’t think that affects me day to day any more.

I’ve heard of some kind of pregnancy rhinitis but not sure that causes so much sneezing and nose running (but as I say, especially in morning).

Or do I just keep getting colds due to low immune system?

And if it is just cold after cold, what do I do? I’ve heard vit c is good but I take the pregnacare vitamins...

I've had it all pregnancy too. I think it's actually an extension of pregnancy rhinitis, where because every swells in pregnancy you get more allergy like symptoms. I don't remember it being this bad last pregnancy but I've got it terribly this time round!
