First time mom here. Currently week 27 and down with blocked nose, sore throat etc. It’s been a week and not recovered. Haven’t been sleeping well and always out of breath 😔 one of the worst feelings ever 😭 Doctor advised to drink more water than usual, rest more and eat medicine on time. I also ensure I take vitamin c everyday to build my immune system. Anyway, do not self medicate. Do consult doctor for pregnancy safe medication.
