My daughter is 6mo pregant and has a cold

keep any thing on her stomach . She's
been to see the doc but they only gave her
antibontics for her cold. What can she
take to get over this mess? I'm worried!

Hi there, my sister had the flu when she
was pregnant. The doctor just told her to
ride it out, and to drink gingerale. It
settles the stomach. Give that at try. I
dont know of anything else because there
isnt much you can take when you are
pregnant. Good luck and I hope she feels
much better soon.

She can take robutussin dm and tylenol for
her cold symptoms and for her nausea, the
doctor can prescribe fenergan
suppositories.
The suppositories are weird to use but
because she is vomiting, they will not be
thrown up.
As far as increasing her fluid intake and
making sure she is well rested, that is
about all you can do. If she ends up not
drinking anything, you are going to need
to get her into the er asap! The more
dehydrated she becomes, the more danger
she and the baby are in.
Also moniter her temp regularly(every 4
hours) and if her temp continues to rise,
and she will not drink, get her to the er
and if she refuses to go, call 911 and
have her taken to the hospital. I know it
sounds dramatic but both her and the baby
could be in serious jeapordy if left
unattended to.

Thank you all for your info. This is my
first grand child and I just want my
daughter to stay healthy during this
time.She went to work today hope she can
handle it.I worry about her all she has is
me to really support her and help her.
She'll be 18 when the baby is born and the
father or (donor) as I call him,most
likely won't be a part of there life. But
she will be fine because she's strong
willed like her mom. Thank you all she
does fell better for now.

Did she take any medicines to help her
ease the pain of her cold? I know it has
been beaten into our heads that women
cannot take medicine when they are
pregnant but in this day and age, it is
fully possible for moms to take medicine
and not harm thier babies.
I am glad to hear that she is feeling
better though.
