when your cold has gone maybe you could get a flu jab. Pharmacists will not give them to pregnant women, but you should be able to get one free from your GP surgery because pregnancy is classed as an "underlying condition". the surgery nurses won't normally give you one whilst you have a cold though, so get rid of the one you have first.

I should point out that i'm not a medical professional and you ought to seek the advice of a gp or pharmacist. I'm only telling you what happened to me last year.
