I would advise you to talk to a doctor
before you take anything. I had a cold
but was told not to take anything.

The only thing I know that is safe would
be tylenol. Not the cold and flu type
just regular tylenol. But in any case
consult your Dr.

my doctor gave me a list of stuff that I
can take for different things throughout
pregnancy. It said tylenol shouldn't be
taken in the first trimester, but she told
me I could take it, anyway. Sometimes I
think everyone is just guessing. Lol.

Drs. Have different opinions and thats
why they call it "practice
medicine"......I don't really know of any
other meds that are ok to take thats why I
said only one I know of....But I do have a
pregnancy book which does state tylenol
should not be taken..

I second that sandralynn. It can be very
scary when they practice on you! Like as
if we are gunny pigs! Lol

That's why I stick with dogs. Even if
some of them are dumb they still have
their redeeming qualities. Guinea pigs
and various other rodents do not.

I have heard that getting minor illnesses
is a good sign as it proves the pregnancy
is working and your baby has "stolen" your
imune system,i too have a cold and im in
my 6th week today so lets hope their
right,good luck,jadexxxx

Don't know about that, this is the first
time in my life that I haven't gotten as
sick as a dog between november and
february. I usually get a really bad
bout of the flu and then bronchitis and an
upper respiratory tract infection. Not
this fall and winter. That's one good
thing about being pregnant for me.
