23 weeks and i've caught a bad cold with body ache and mild fever. feeling weak and a bit worried since im pregnant. planning to call my gynac tomorrow but just wanted to know if catching flu is common in these months?
Yes it's normal, I caught flu twice while pregnant and working. Took proper rest, drank a lot of warm fluids and only the meds my gynac okayed. Don't push yourself through it, body needs the break.
Catching flu is common because immunity is a bit lower in pregnancy. Rest, fluids and warm soup help. But don't take any medicine on your own, call your gynac, especially if you get high fever.
Mild cold yes, but flu with high fever you should not ignore in pregnancy. I'd phone the doctor and ask before taking anything. Fever needs to be brought down safely, please don't self medicate.
Beta we all catch a cold sometimes. Warm water, haldi doodh, steam and lots of rest helped me. But if fever stays or you feel weak, ring the doctor, no taking tablets on your own.
Haan it happens, immunity thoda down rehta hai in pregnancy na. Rest karo, garam cheezein lo, steam le lo. But fever zyada ho to doctor ko call karo, dawai khud se mat lo.
