Not "bad" it's normal. Take some sudafed. :) I suffered through it several times with this pregnancy and I'm catching it again now that I'm at 36 weeks. (and here I thought I was on the home stretch and could chug some nyquil with my first cold of the winter. LOL)

The thing that is going to make it seem worse than it normally woud is the fact that you can not take most of the medicines that you would probably take if you weren't pregnant. I got a cod at 5 weeks and the flu at 14 weeks and I thought I was going to die. The good thing is that a lot of the things that you CAN take no one tells you about, like Sudafed. There is, however, a new cold medicine made by Tylenol that I have even used since I had my baby, and it is okay to take while pregnant. It is called Tylenol Cold and Cough Severe (or Cold&Flu, or Cold&Sore Throat) and it is the Tylenol equivalent of Nyquil. I took it at 5 weeks with my cold and after 2 days I felt great again. It's best to get the nighttime formula so that you can sleep through most of your discomfort (if you have any) during the day.
Hope you feel better!

merely studying those solutions are going to furnish me a nightmare taking under consideration if those musicians formed a band. Worst Vocalist: Chad Kroeger Worst Drummer: Meg White (even if I do exactly like the White Stripes) Worst Bassist: Nikki Sixx Worst Guitarist: Herman Lee

You know all those over the counter cold remedies to relieve your symptoms? Pregnant women aren't supposed to take any of them other then straight Benedryl which is nothing more then an antihistamine. I highly recommend Vaporub, it's safe.

everything will be ok. Just talk to your doctor and he/she will tell you what meds to take for the coughing, etc.
