8w Preg - UTI, awful cold and anti-sickness meds

Hi everyone

Just looking for some reassurance really. I'm almost 8 weeks pregnant.

At almost 7w pregnant my sickness was so bad, couldn't hold anything down so doc prescribed ondansetron, cyclizine and omeperazole.

At the doctors she did a urine sample and I tested positive for a UTI. I had no symptoms.

So I've been on those 3 medications for the sickness plus antibiotics (nitrofurantoin).

Now I have an AWFUL cold. Constantly hard sneezing, coughing like mad.

I've got it all going on.

I'm so worried that all of these tablets and the cold is going to cause me to miscarry or effect the baby. I know these things on their own are fine but I feel like all together my body/baby is under a lot of strain. Am I being stupid?

Not taking anything for the cold.

Had a scan at 6+3 and heart bewrint away. First preg after trying for a while.

Thanks!!

I’m sure the Dr wouldn’t have prescribed something that would affect the baby, and lots of us had stinking colds when pregnant and were fine . I know it’s hard not to worry though when you are growing a precious life inside you.
I hope you feel better soon Flowers
