Why that lingering cold feels worse during pregnancy.

If you’re pregnant and struggling to shake off a cold, you’re definitely not imagining it.

Pregnancy brings incredible changes to your body – and one of them is a natural shift in your immune system. To protect your growing baby, your body dials down certain immune responses, which can make it harder (and slower) to fight off everyday viruses like the common cold.

So if your sniffles seem to linger longer than usual, there’s a good reason. You’re already working overtime growing a tiny human, and that added effort can mean your recovery takes a little more time.

The good news? There are gentle, effective ways to support your body through it.

Prioritising rest, staying well-hydrated, and seeking supportive care, like prenatal chiropractic, can help your body stay balanced and encourage healing during this extra-sensitive time.

Be kind to yourself, and give your body the space it needs to do its amazing work.
