Could something be wrong?
I'm worried my immune system isn't working very well. Every year, autumn-spring I always get at least 4 or 5 colds. I'm usually fine with it as they go very quickly, I feel crap but in 2-4 days I'm a lot better. I was originally happy about being pregnant through the winter cos I won't feel all hot and heavy, but now I'm worried, last time I got a cold (about 2 months ago) it lasted 3 weeks and was actually more like flu which affected my glands and I had a really bad cough. Now I'm coming down with another one and quite nervous that I'm going to be poorly all through the winter. I already eat healthily (despite the odd takeaway), drink lots of water, and limit alcohol to a small glass a week. And have never smoked. Any ideas? Am I being fussy to be going to doctors?

At the very least - take some time off work to rest properly and get better.. believe me its not worth struggling on!
Everyone just says 'Drink lots of fluids' or 'Eat lots of fruit & veg'....I DO. And it doesn't work. In fact I've drowned myself with so much water & hot lemon that my mum asked if I had cystitis. Lol. I took a Sudafed today cos I just felt shit - felt really bad about it though. Paracetamol just doesn't do anything and it's maddening for me who used to just take everything under the sun.
