One thing that always helps me are zinc tablets/coldeeze/ Ask your doc if they are approved for pregnancy. If you take them right away at first sign of a cold & take one about every 4 hours, they may help. It always helps me. I hope you can try that. Drink some hot tea (lemon) to try & thin the mucus too.

I don't know about zinc or zicam, but I do kow that coldeeze is not OK - too much vitamin A.
Hot tea - yes! you can also eat some raw garlic (if you can stomach it - you need to dice it up pretty well)
