3rd cold

Hi im a big worryworm, im 15 wks along and this is my 3rd cold I get. Dr. says not to worry unless I start getting fevers but ive heard that colds during preg can cause downsindrome for the baby. Also it can sometimes lead to miscarrige.. So im super concerned since I had a miscarrige this past may and I was also around 15 wks.. Anyone have any info on colds or advice? Thanx

Id call your doctor so see what is safe to take as it differs from hospital but i take benadryl and Tussin DM.. both help alot.. another thing to do if your nose is stuffy is to get a pedi pot i think thats what theyre called but they work wonders!!

Get you a vaporizer! Rub vicks on your chest & stay warm. I had a really bad cold abt a month and a half ago but I made it just fine. I wouldn't worry too much abt it unless you're running a fever. Back when I was abt 6 months far along, I had a kidney infection with serious fevers. We made it just fine. In the hospital, but my baby and I are just fine! :))
