When having a cold when pregnancy… ?

Q: does it end the pregnancy? ruin the baby?or is it ok to get a cold when pregnant?how you tell if you got a cold when pregnant?how should you avoid it? how can you?what do you do if you have it?

A: I had a cold a couple of weeks ago and my baby’s been fine the whole time. It won’t end your pregnancy or hurt the baby if it’s just a normal cold with no complications to it. It might last a little longer than normal because of your weakened immune system, but it will go away just like any other cold. I was actually surprised with how fast mine went away – usually they stick around me for a while, but this one went away fairly quickly! 🙂 The best way to avoid it is to stay away from people who you know have colds, and from really public places since a lot of people will have colds this time of year. But since that’s probably not a very good option, then WASH YOUR HANDS as much as you can. And use hand sanitizer when there’s no soap and water around. There’s nothing you really do other than that. And if/when you do get a cold, check with your doctor before taking anything, but MOST cold meds are okay while pregnant. Most of the ingredients aren’t going to hurt you or the baby, but some brands might use ones that aren’t okay, so definitely check with the doctor first. Or just stick it out and it’ll go away, just like any other cold.
