Being pregnant suppresses your immune system so can make you more likely to catch colds etc. I wouldn’t worry if it’s just colds, they won’t do any harm. If you have a bad cough maybe ask your doctor to check you over just in case it’s a chest infection. I would recommend you get a flu jab later in the year as that can be more serious when you’re pregnant.
