I am 18 week pregnant. i am having a cold: running nose, headachae, bodyache. how dangerous is this to the fetus? thanks.

Taking care of baby: One important way to help your baby is to take good care of yourself. It sounds like u may have 'the flu'. All pregnant women are recommended to get the flu shot to avoid this problem-because if u are sick, it could affect the baby. The best thing to do is see a doctor who can check u and your baby to make sure things are OK. At least u are past the first trimester which is a critical time-point.
