Flu throughout pregnancy

Hi! I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant. Have been having flu and cough almost every week. When i'm almost recovering, it'll come back again. Should i be worried? Read some medical articles online about how prolonged cough/flu can affect baby's development. My next scan is at 20 weeks.

I don't think this is an alarming concern. it seems that during pregnancy, cold is common. seeing a medical professional culd be more assuring and since u say its prolong pls do see a Dr. I am one with sinus & my flu throughout is bad that will easy becmin sore throat & fever. I am taking cetrizine every day/ every other day as to cope & suppress before it even may start. if at night i feel goin to catch very bad cold it's getting intense I take chlorpheniramine. please do discuss with Dr if these are pregnancy safe for u
