Cold - No, flu - there is a risk of complications. nhs.uk/Conditions/pregnancy...

If you think you have flu I would get on the phone to your doctor today. Although the symptoms you describe don’t sound bad enough to be the flu so don’t worry too much! nhs.uk/conditions/flu/sympt...

If you have a cold baby will be fine. however you need to ride this out on a minimum of medication. So it’s hot honey and lemon and lots of rest if you can get it. You can’t have lemsips or cough mixtures, aspirin of ibuprofen for example. medicinesinpregnancy.org/Me...

Paracetamol I was told to keep at an absolute minimum. Your local pharmacist will be able to help you.

As with any situation in pregnancy, if you have any doubts, speak to your GP! They’ll be able to diagnose, reassure and make sure you’re on the right medication if at all. Hope you feel better soon! X

I wouldn't think so. Your immune system will protect the baby. You are entitled to a free flu jab if you have not had it yet. Just keep your fluids up x
