The honey and lemon tea that @truelove124 mentioned worked great for me. I also struggle with allergies so I bought a humidifier and it helps me sleep and not wake up stuffy.

it is normal to have back pain, very normal because your uterus is stretching and getting bigger the further along you are i was worried about that when i was pregnant to taking a warm bath or using a heating pad may help a little if it doesnt get better after a while an the pain is unbearable i would go get it checked out cause unbearable pain shouldnt be normal, sore throat  Here's a recipe for a soothing, natural relief for a sore throat: 6-8oz. Boiling water 2T. Lemon Juice 2T. Honey Let it sit (steep) for a couple minutes and then add a couple ice cubes to cool it down...and drink. The honey helps soothe and coat your throat and the lemon helps clear away the mucus stuff this is much better then medication tht could harm baby if it doesnt work try sucking on peppermints, if its really bad an doesnt get better see a dr and tell them you dont want anything that could harm baby, try staying away from fats,oils and extra added sugars you do not have to eat for 2 but you wana eat 300 calories then you normally do iam 6'3 and i weighed 165 i was 240 lbs the day i had my daughter she was only 6lbs 8 0z but very strong, you should drink lowfat milk, 100%  juices or oj , its not terrable but if your afraid of gaining more weight just try snacking on veggies little healthy things through the day with a healthy meal. but overly all you should be fine hun dont freak out everything should work out good, i hope this helped you and congradulatioins an i hope everything goes well.
