Hey ladies I'm in my second trimester thank the lord 😂 however do any of you feel like your getting a cold sometimes and then the feeling disappears it's very strange and scares me Bec of everything that's going on now but I know I'm okay because I stay home please tell me if any of you ladies experience this thank you x

I had this a lot and it really scared me too! Remember, it's normal to feel horrifically run down and tired, and that that feeling can be really on and off. I also had random bouts of feeling like I was coming down with a sore throat, and that seems to have been when I was particularly tired - never developed into anything. If you're feeling bunged up/runny nose a lot then may be pregnancy rhinitis!

Yup this is happening to me a lot it's what made me take a test. Now 20 weeks and get chills sometimes, weird feeling in my throat like a cold is coming, I'll get really blocked up, nippy eyes, then it goes away. Its quite draining.

Yeap all the fricking time. 38 + 4 now and I still get times where I really feel like I'm getting a head cold / sinuses are acting up and then it comes to nothing!

I think it can be to do with hormones making things swell (such as your sinuses)

That's pretty much my experience of pregnancy. Like a low lying viral illness most of the time. I'm having my 2nd. I forgot about this!

Yep I’ve had this a couple of times, including today. I’ve had a persistent cough and sore throat so have ordered a Covid test, but wouldn’t be surprised if I woke up feeling perfectly fine tomorrow 🙄
