Good morning! My older child caught a cold just before my due date at 38 weeks. I have a runny nose and sore throat, but no fever. Does a cold negatively affect the baby?

A common cold by itself is usually not serious at this stage, as long as you don't have a high fever or feel significantly worse overall. The most important thing is to monitor your condition and consult a doctor if needed, so they can provide guidance and, if necessary, prescribe safe treatment. Try to rest more and drink plenty of warm fluids to help your body fight the virus.

If there is no fever or complications, it won't affect you. Gargle your throat. For a runny nose, Sinupret works well, and Pinasol can also be used.

I also fell ill at 34 weeks, but only with a fever. My baby was born with an intrauterine infection.

I'm sharing this not to scare you.
