I would say .N.O
that is some strong stuff and I don't
think it'd be ok.

I dont think so. I was told while
pregnant to only take tylenol. U might
have to call and ask the doc first before
taking. Or it might even say on the back
of the box ? But id call just to make
sure

Benadryl puts you to sleep...As long as
you take the drowsy kind

According to this website, they say yes
you can take it. Although I would call
your doctor just to make sure.
Here is the website: http://www.Ahealthyme.Com/t

medicine during pregnancy
when you're pregnant, you make certain
vital adjustments to your lifestyle. You
give up cocktails and you stop smoking.
Perhaps you cut down on your
two-latte-a-day habit. But medications
are more of a gray area. Your
obstetrician's office may give you a
handout like the chart below that lists
over-the-counter medicines considered safe
for pregnant women to take for the
occasional stuffy nose or headache. While
these drugstore remedies can provide
welcome relief, always check with your
doctor or midwife before taking any kind
of medicine. If you have a question about
prescription drugs, talk to your doctor or
midwife about what's safe. (some
prescription medicines, such as prozac may
be safe to take; others, such as accutane,
are known to cause birth defects.)
safe remedies for common pregnancy
complaints
problem safe to take
indigestion, gas, upset stomach antacids
for acid indigestion or heartburn (tums,
rolaids, mylanta, maalox) simethicone for
gas pains (gas-x, mylicon, phazyme)
cough or cold guaifenesin plus
dextromethorphan (robitussin dm, benylin
expectorant, nyquil, vicks cough syrup)
cough drops vick's vaporub
pain relief, headache, or fever
acetaminophen (tylenol, anacin-3)
allergy relief chlorpheniramine
antihistamine alone (chlor-trimeton
allergy tablets) avoid decongestant
sprays, as they can damage nasal passages
if used frequently
constipation, diarrhea, and hemorrhoids
bulking products can be used regularly
(metamucil, citrucel) laxatives can be
used occasionally (colace, dulcolax, milk
of magnesia) hemorrhoids (tucks,
preparation h, or anusol) antidiarrhea
medicine can be used occasionally
(kaopectate, donnagel) avoid pepto-bismol
because it contains aspirin
insomnia diphenhyrdamine (benadryl, nytol,
sominex-2)
first-aid preparations neosporin, cortaid,
lanacort
My doctor told me to use benadryl. But
not the "sleepy kind". Just regular
benadryl should make you drowsy. And
don't make a habit out of it...
Obviously.
