Cold & Flu Season Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy 🤰💨
During pregnancy, your immune system naturally weakens to protect your baby—making you more vulnerable to colds and the flu. At Unified Premier Women’s Care in Marietta, GA, we’re here to help you stay healthy and confident this season.
Simple Ways to Stay Well:
• Get your flu shot – Safe during pregnancy and helps protect your baby after birth.
• Stay hydrated – Water, herbal teas, and electrolyte drinks support circulation and immunity. Learn more: The Importance of Hydration During Pregnancy.
• Eat immune-boosting foods – Vitamin C (oranges, peppers), zinc (beans, nuts), and iron (leafy greens) strengthen your defenses.
• Wash hands often – Prevent germs by washing for at least 20 seconds and avoiding face touching.
• Rest & manage stress – Quality sleep and relaxation help your body fight illness naturally.
If you do get sick, rest, drink fluids, use a humidifier, and check with your OB/GYN before taking any medication. Seek medical care for high fever, chest pain, or dehydration.
