Colds in pregnancy are very common since your immune system is suppressed during pregnancy. Unfortunately, there isn't much you can take for it, esp during the critical first trimester. Most cold meds are out, but you can use saline nose spray for the congestion and Tylenol if the headaches are bad enough. Just try & rest, drink lots of fluids, and wait for it to run its course. Hot tea (decaf) with honey may make you feel better as well. Congrats & feel better soon!

PS....if u do start running a fever do take the Tylenol (no ibuprofen or Alleve).

Suddafed was the only thing my Dr said I could take during my previous pregnancies
