I read that in early pregnancy you can get flu like symptoms. Is that true? And how long does it last? I was coughing one day and the next day felt like crap. Head ache, cough, sneezing, runny nose, and stuffy nose. Took cold medicine all that day. The next day just a stuffy and runny nose, cough and head ache. I have had this for almost a week now. How long should it last??
