Do you get sick easily during pregnancy? Especially in winter?

Joelle

I’m 25 weeks now and it’s winter here in Melbourne so fairly cold. I find myself always getting sick with the common cold every 3-4 weeks. They say because when pregnant your immune system is lowered.

Mainly nose congestion, sneezing, runny nose & a little cough! Being pregnant you can’t take cold & flu tablets so I’ve been using natural remedies like honey, lemon tea.

I guess there’s pros and cons with being pregnant in summer & winter. I hear other pregnant women complain being pregnant in summer they get heat rashes etc.. but I feel being pregnant in winter you get sick all the time. Is anyone else feeling this as well or is it just me?
