Thanks everyone! I think its a cold I've contracted because the runny nose is here and congestion and the sore throat is completely gone. Thank God it wasn't strep!

A cold wont do baby any harm at all. Unfortunately you will just suffer more than usual as your body will have to fight harder than normal. You will probably get very tired if it turns into a cold. All you can take is the paracetamol/tylenol and if you speak to a pharmacist you can probably have some brands of cough drops and throat soothers. Keep an eye on any cough you might develop, it can be difficult to clear your lungs while pregnant because they are all squished, if you have a hard time with coughing, be sure to see a doctor, there may be medicines that fhey can prescribe to help. Hope you feel better soon :)
