Well unlike what someone has suggested, I doubt this is allergies because of the body aches. There are some over the counter remedies. If after clearing with your Dr. you aren't getting the flue, you can get saline nasal spray for the stuffy nose. A mixture of honey/lemon helps the sore throat. Vitamin C is good for all around cold systems. I too got a really nasty cold around my 8th. month with my last child. I also had a terrible cough with mine. I "toughed" it out instead of contacting my Dr. He could have given me something that was safe to take. One thing that did happen. I still had my cold when I went into labor/delivery. The symptoms seemed to disappear almost overnight when he was born.

Go see your docotr. But if you want home remedies here's a few. For stuffy nose boil some citrus peels and inhale the steam. For sore throat take vitamin C or something acidic, like orange juice lemonade or soda. For body aches a heating pad worked for me the other day.

You would have to ask your doctor, when i was about 7 months as well I got a really, really bad cold but i just drank hot water with lemon and honey and ate chicken soup, I was too afraid to take any medication in case it hurt the baby.

Don't ever take anything while you are preg without first consulting with your doctor! Very important. Thats what he is being paid for. call him or her. nothing is safe for you the mother are already overloaded because of what is going on in your body. You don't want to get eclampsia,so call your doctor .

You need to see your doctor for something safe and will not harm the baby. You can't be too careful when you have someone else's life in your hands. Best of luck

Try making a tea of dry ginger, fresh lemon juice and honey. It will help. Try boiling a quart of water with a tablespoon of ginger. Add honey to taste and lemon when it's in the cup.

You really need to call your OB before you take anything - any meds/drugs you take now could have serious side effects on your baby. My niece had the flu not too long before her son was born - he has cerebral palsy - she think he was harmed because of her illness.

Please don't medicate yourself. Not when you are pregnant. Sore throat is usually due to a viral infection. Gargling with warm salty water or mouthwash can reduce the pain and inconvenience. You can find some good home remedies at http://ailments.in/sorethroat.html

That not a cold that;s allergies all the way. Seasonal; dust, mold, animals... constant...
Doctor or over the counter. I'd try over the counter first for allergies.
