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

Yeah big time! And frankly, I think they are pretty ugly too!

Lol...My nephew had one and he killed it by straving it to death....I guess he didnt care to look at it either!

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.

Sometimes talking to a pharmacist helps they now a lot more about meds then most drs do.

could also be all the congestion blocking my nasal passages and keeping the germies out :lol:

thats why their called general pradctioners lol its a game!!


Anyways I know there is something over the counter you can take I cant take pseudophedrine I believe its spelt anywa talk to a phramacist but I took claritin for allergie usually but I cant rmeber if that is what I took when I was preggo w th elisa
