Pregnancy induced allergies?/constantly sick!!

Does anyone else deal with this? I have been constantly sick since the week before xmas. The first time was bronchitis, had about a week off and then a sinus/headcold now I've had a week off again and my nose is running like a tap but plugged, my right eye is watering non stop and I keep getting sneezing attacks.
I'm MISERABLE!!
Does anyone else deal with this? I was picture perfect healthy with baby #1, this baby is kicking my @ss!!

Oh I forgot to mention my small bout of diarrhea I had for 5 days too!
I'm absolutely miserable but it feels a bit better to know I'm not the only one! LOL
Brenna- my ears are so plugged too, I'm not sure at what level I'm speaking. I don't wanna end up screaming at people or talking so low no one can hear me!
:( we will get through it....I'm only halfway there though! Gonna be a long few months

The reason this happens is your immune system actually represses itself so you don't miscarry. It allows the baby to grow safely:)

Yes, I'm currently going through this and it seems to get worse when my morning sickness is at its worse. The cold weather and dry indoor air doesn't help either. I drink lots of hot beverages and water, keep a humidifier going at night, but when it's prolonged I'll take a benadryl in the evening, as suggested by the doctor - it helps tremendously. Hope you find some relief soon.
