Hey ladies. I'm getting sick or I am sick. I'm dealing with a common cold. I'm trying everything possible from tea to sweating it out. Nothing is working. The cold is starting to get worse. I need some ideas BC I can't take any cold meds. And I'ma little over 13 weeks

I've tried all of that thanks ladies. I even tried warm water and hot water with a teaspoon of vinigar. I'm getting no results.

Congrats on your pregnancy and I hope you feel better soon. In my first pregnancy with a cold, what helped me tremendously was putting vicks vapor rub on my chest and feet (cover with socks), used a humidifier/aromatherapy mist and added eucalyptus,  lavender,  pine and peppermint oil, drank lots of electrolyte water (couldnt have orange juice due to acid reflux), steamed the bathroom several times a day (released head pressure and expelled.mucus from my chest), couldn't eat soup ( hyperemesis)  but if you can i would get all of the vegetable soup i could in me and I slept alot. Typically a cold last me forever but doing those things got rid of it at warp speed.

Best wishes and feel better!!
