Frequently Asked Questions About The Early Signs Of Pregnancy
Can a sore throat be an early pregnancy symptom?
In many women, cold-like symptoms or a sore throat can be a symptom of early pregnancy. An increase in hormones such as estrogen and progesterone can cause swelling from inside of your nose, as well as an increase in the amount and thickness of mucus. This can lead to a blocked nose, cold symptoms, or even a sore throat. Just remember, cold and flu symptoms can be more serious in early pregnancy, so talk to a professional if symptoms persist longer than a day or two.
