Getting Sick During Pregnancy and Finding Safe Relief

Getting sick can feel especially tough when you're pregnant. Unfortunately, during pregnancy, you're more vulnerable to illnesses like colds, the flu, and COVID-19. This episode helps you understand what kind of illness you might have, how to treat your symptoms safely, and when to reach out to your doctor or midwife. Learn how these viruses spread, what symptoms to watch for, and how to distinguish between common cold, pregnancy rhinitis, or strep throat. Find out about evidence-based, non-medical strategies to ease symptoms. Hear about research on homeopathic remedies like Umcka and herbal teas for cold relief. Plus, a review of what we know about the safety of over-the-counter medicines and ingredients like acetaminophen, antihistamines, decongestants, and cough suppressants.

This podcast is not intended as medical advice. You should always discuss any symptoms and medications, including over-the-counter medicines, with your doctor or midwife.
