Sick during pregnancy-Concerns

futant462

My wife and I returned from our Ireland trip last week with more than just souvenirs. The day we were flying back to the U.S. she came down with a bad cold, mild fever, and a really bad cough that is persisting.  Since my wife has become pregnant, my level of paranoia about sicknesses and anything that could be harmful to her or the baby has increased tenfold.

My question is whether any of your wives or any of the lurking Mom's on here came down with sicknesses while pregnant?  Were there any lasting effects?  I'm pretty sure everything will be fine but my mind has been going a hundred miles an hour at night and we're still a week or two from our next OB appointment.
