12 weeks pregnant - stinking cold!

Hi all

Had my 12 week can last week (I was 12+1) the relief I felt hearing and seeing that heartbeat was like a huge weight had been lifted!

However - I've come down with a horrid head cold and I'm coughing my guts up. I'm so scared it could be damaging baby or causing a problem.

Has anyone experienced this?
Should I get checked after it goes?
Is this me finding something new to worry about!?

I was about to share the happy news with friends and family and now I'm worried all over again!

Pregnancy anxiety is something else!!

Baby isn't going to be disturbed by coughing, it's so small and well protected.

Just be careful of any medications you take for the cold, some of the cold and flu ones contain a decongestant that you shouldn't take.

Your baby is in a lovely bubble (literally)
They are fine.

Hope you feel better soon.

So far while pregnant I've had four colds and norovirus. The joys of a toddler at nursery. Nothing to worry about!

It's just a cold.
