My throat has been thoda scratchy and sore for a few days, no cold or fever though. We are trying this month so my mind is going everywhere haha. Is sore throat actually a thing in early pregnancy or am I just overthinking?
Haha, with my twins, I had every weird symptom in the book including a dry, scratchy sore throat! Your body is working overtime to build a cozy home for the baby, so a little immunity drop is normal. Just keep sipping warm water and don't panic.
Try having warm haldi milk or doing gargles with salt water, it works wonders for throat pain. But please, if you get a high fever or severe difficulty in swallowing, don't wait at home and call your gynac immediately.
Yes, because our immunity naturally goes down in early pregnancy so the body doesn't reject the embryo. I had a scratchy throat right after my transfer and got so worried, but it turned out to be a positive sign. Sending you so much love and prayers for your journey.
Oh, I had this too! For me, the sore throat was actually because of acid reflux and silent morning sickness burning my throat. Try sleeping with your head slightly elevated and have small, frequent meals so the acid doesn't travel up.
Aww, I remember analyzing every single sneeze and throat tickle during those two weeks of waiting! Yes, a sore throat is quite common because of hormonal shifts and dryness. It is completely okay to feel anxious, just rest as much as you can.
Honestly, I had a terrible sore throat in my first few weeks just a couple of months back! I thought I was getting a normal cold, but it was just pregnancy hormones and dryness. Warm water with ginger and honey was my savior, please try that.
It can definitely be a sign because pregnancy lowers your immune system slightly. I faced this too and stuck to warm salt water gargles because we have to be so careful about what we take. It is always better to avoid strong pills while nursing or pregnant unless doctor advises.
