Ask:
I am going to see my doc tomorrow but I just wanted to ask...
I HAVE THE WORST COLD EVER. head cold. i havent taken anything and it has been 4 days. I will probably just wait it out, and not take anything. My question is, has anyone taken cold medicine during pregnancy?? I searched online and found out whats safe and whats not. but the one drug that will help me, seems to be linked to birth defects. SO.
Anything you all have done or taken that you were told was safe by the doc?
Answer:
I never took anything when I was pregnant. Besides tums of course!
Answer:
Before I had my son in May, I got a really bad head/sinus cold. My OB said I could take

Answer:
With my first pregnancy I was able to take sudafed, but I would definitely check with your doctor before taking anything.
Answer:
Check with your doctor but I'm pretty sure Sudafed is safe. I was also told that Robitussin is safe to take during pregnancy. Tylenol should also be safe.
Answer:
I didn't take anything. Most things I'm allergic to and I have to watch my liver. I had and still eat chicken soup, fluids and vaporizer.
