I have a cold and am 26 weeks pregnant. is that bad for the baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: Localized infections like a cold usually have no effect on a pregnancy. Only the germs that can enter your blood have any chance or reaching/effecting baby. A cold involves localized tissues in the nose & upper airway.
