When are your symptoms more pronounced? Early morning or during the night? Sore pharynx could be either due to an infection or gastric reflux. Post nasal drainage (chronic) usually does not cause sore pharynx. You can try fresh ginger slices & honey in warm water for a day or two. Without improvement, you better to have a throat exam with your family doctor, just to be safe due to pregnant status.

Pregnancy hormones cause vasodilation of the turbinate mucosa leading to increased nasal secretions. Saline nasal irrigations may offer some relief
