Has anyone else had symptoms of a cold/sore throat since finding out, this really sucks that my immune system is not up to par anymore since getting pregnant.

I've been sick for three weeks with sinus & allergy crud. And I'm four weeks. lol

I just started feeling nauseaus yesterday! Which is why I took a pg test. I wasn't expecting to get ms so soon, but I guess I am 5 weeks. It is hard to tell, cuz I don't know when I ovulated. I am still bfing , and my cycles have been 36 days, but I think I may have ovulated earlier, cuz my test was super dark, and I have ms already. I am 39 days from my last af. Anyways..... queasy and super tired is all! Well, and emotional

Several websites advised against Hibiscus tea and that it could potentially cause a miscarriage. They didn't have scientific info to back it up but just reading it made me nervous enough to decide against drinking it. Hot baths can increase the rate of neural tube defects although I am still taking baths that are probably too hot and the diet coke is more my personal view, I love diet coke but I figure the aspartame isn't good for the bean. Not to mention I am like an addict I can't just have one can of diet coke; I'll drink a whole 2 liter in a day so it's better if I just say no altogether.

Ah to be a first time mother right?!

I've woke up a few times feeling congested and with a sore throat but it usually goes away after a few hours.

I don't know when I O'd either!! I am fairly certain I know when I did the cycle prior, but I had bleeding when I was supposed to and even took a PG test it was neg!
this last cycle I never felt anything like I usually do when I Ovulate, but I'm 99.9% sure the dates are right

Im not too sure when I O'd either but I DO know when we had sex. lol

Yes, it's rated as a cat. B drug. I took it when I was pregnant with DD too.
