Immune system is so weak this pregnancy. Anyone else?

It seems to be one thing after another 😩
I’m 18 weeks with baby #3 and I’ve never had this bad of an immune system. I keep catching colds, coughs, my iron levels are low, I got diagnosed with asthma (haven’t had asthma in 15 years) and now I either have the flu or Norovirus 😩
The reason I’m unsure is because I’ve had a constant cold and cough which hasn’t left but keeps getting bad then okay and now I can’t stop vomiting 😭 I’ve been being sick for over 12 hours. My stomach is killing me, I can’t kee anything down. I’ve tried sucking on ice cubes and even this makes me throw up after a while 😭 my temp is over 40degrees but I can’t take paracetamol as I just bring it back up.

Any suggestions?
My usual go to is ready salted crisps and lemonade but if I can’t stomach ice cubes I don’t think I’ll be able to handle those two things 😭

My M/S keeps coming and going this pregnancy but this is 100% not related.

I feel so weak and have no energy. I need to have my flu vaccination but they won’t give it to me while I keep getting ill.

Hi

Sorry to hear you are feeling so down. I am 15 weeks with my second was feeling exactly the same for about a month. I actually went to the doctor and got a blood test as they thought I had glandular fever. Turns out I caught cmv! Never heard of it before but apparently when women are ill in pregnancy in other countries they get tested. Most people have it or have had it and never know. Maybe worth mentioning. I hope you haven't but sounded similar to me. Good luck and hope you feel better soon x

If your temp is over 40 degrees, you really need to present to hospital.
