Im in my 2nd trimester and i keep catching cold again and again, jaldi se sick ho jaati hu now. Earlier my immunity was actually pretty strong. Is this a pregnancy thing or just me?
In my case, yes, our immune system naturally suppresses a bit so the body accepts the baby. I had PCOS so I was extra scared of getting sick, but proper rest and a basic healthy diet helped keep things stable.
Oh absolutely, my body went from 'shield mode' to 'welcome all germs' when I got pregnant! Haha. Just drink warm water and avoid raw foods, you'll survive this season easily!
Suno, it's completely normal for immunity to go down a bit now. Just take care of yourself, don't get wet in the rain, and if you get a fever, talk to your doctor immediately instead of self-medicating.
Honestly, I'm in my 5th month and I keep getting mild sniffles and cough every other week! Does anyone else feel like their body is catching infections so quickly now? I'm getting a bit worried.
Chill dear, don't stress too much about this. Yes, immunity drops slightly, but as long as you're eating clean and taking your prescribed vitamins, you and the baby will be absolutely fine!
Yes, it is a scientifically proven fact that immunity drops slightly to protect the fetus. Focus on eating freshly cooked warm meals, wash your hands often, and take your prenatal vitamins without fail.
Biologically, your immune response changes to accommodate the baby. Just stay hydrated, get your flu shot if your gynac recommends it, and avoid crowded places.
Currently in my 34th week and my immunity is so low that even a strong wind makes me sneeze! My main exercise now is just grabbing tissues. Hang in there, we are almost at the finish line.
Haan, mere mummy also used to tell me this. She made sure I had warm milk with turmeric and fresh ghar ka khana to prevent catching any cold. Family care is really a blessing during this time.
It does decrease, yes. Be very careful with what you eat to boost it; avoid sugary juices and sweet citrus fruits if you are watching your sugar, and stick to veggies and light soups.
