Did any of you get a sore throat during your 3rd trimester? Did you take anything or just let it go away on its own? I woke up with a horrible sore throat this morning, luckily I have a doctors appointment today so I will see my OB and get her advice but just wondered what other pregnant women did. Currently my plan is to drink lots of warm water with honey and lemon and I've been drinking room temp pineapple juice for vitamin C.

Do you think you're coming down with a cold? I think all my sore throats were coming-down-with-a-cold-related, and unfortunately many cold medications are off-limits.
I mainly just tried to keep hydrated and well-rested, and kept the humidifier on. Sorry you're not feeling well -
Thanks, at this point I cant tell if this is just beginning of a cold or if its just the sore throat. It is so sucky to have this on top of being pregnant ugh!

This is one of my biggest fears since I get sore throats often and they always end up with me having to take antibiotics to get better. Most recently I actually had a staph infection in my throat! My doctor had never seen that before and both DH and I had to take strong antibiotics. So when I eventually get pregnant and this happens, I don't know what I"m going to do..

i'm almost at my third trimester, and i've had a sore throat for the last 10 days, but it's finally going away. i took a rapid test to rule out strep. it's just a viral infection. my doctor recommended alcohol-free lozenges (like chloraseptic) for the pain, salt water gargles, lots of fluid and plenty of rest.

I had a sore throat once during pregnancy. I ended up getting sick shortly after. Hope your sore throat goes away soon!

I took Tylenol in the first trimester when I couldn't handle the pain of my sore throat anymore. It worked and I'm so glad I took it vs continuing to feel miserable.

Thanks everyone. When I see my doctor today I'll see what she says too.

I've fought through 2 colds with excessive amounts of orange juice and tea. OB gave me the thumbs up to take tylenol cold if I felt I needed it, but I never ended up doing it.

I was also stopped up with my sore throat. I used nasal spray to stop the drainage and drank lemon tea (basically boiled water, lemon juice, and honey). It helped, but it would've been gone quicker if I could've taken my regular medicine.

ricola is supposed to be all natural..maybe that would help?
I'm sorry you're feeling sick!
