Fell sick while pregnant w23+

Sigh, fell sick with blocked nose and having bad cough with phlegm while pregnant, currently at week 23. Feel so guilty and worried for baby. Been 4 days, still not recovering. Only eating antihistamines med. Anyone fell sick and how long u took to recover? Any tips?#adviceplease #firstmom

hi mama! hope you'll recover well. just know that baby will be safe and well, in fact, when your body is fighting the virus and producing antibodies, your baby will receive the antibodies too! so your immunity is helping baby develop his/her immunity too! so in a way, while you are sick, your body has its way to protect baby. just rest up, dont stress about it, it will be all fine! (side note; I was very sick at the start of my pregnancy and I didnt even know I was pregnant then... it took me close to 1 month while on medication (that i doubt was pregnancy safe, but i didnt know i was pregnant...) I was on medication, inhaler etc due to lung infection. but my baby is now 3mths old and so healthy! growing super well too, she is so chubby now and happy ☺️ so fret not ok! sending you lots of virtual hugs, get well soon!)
