Hi, I am suffering from horrible allergies
to the point I had to call off of work
today. My doctor already has me taking
other pills for other things. Im taking
phenegran for nausea, prenatals, folic
acid, laxatives for constiaption, tylenol
pm for backache and insomnia and now they
want me to take sudafed. I took one but
is it safe to be taking all of these meds
during first trimester? Because I had a
miscarriage oncew and I dont want to go
through that again. I have been trying to
drink lots of fluids, but really havent
been able to eat too much for past week
until today because of all of the nausea.
My doctor doesnt really seemed too worried
about any of this, should I be?

your doctor is the only one who can tell
you what is safe for you and what isn't.
We aren't doctors.
Are you taking the prenates with the
laxative in it already or is that in
addition to the prenatals?

Sudafed During Pregnancy Posted: 06-04-07 12:38pm
Don't take Sudafed During pregnancy!!! I
recently had a miscarraige due to taking
Sudafed. My doctor told me I could take
Sudafed for my cold. 2 hours later I
started spottong! I've been doing my own
research on the web and I have been
talking to many more nurses and doctors
since the incident and many of them say do
not take anything accept tylonol! They
also say not to take Sudafed in your first
trimester. Some also say not to take it
unless it is absolutely necessary. But
when is it necessary to take a cold
medicine? My advice is to avoid anything
that may effect your prgnancy even if it's
a low risk.

I dont think it's fair to say that it
caused you to have a miscarriage because
millions of women have taken it and been
fine, id say do your own research and
listen to your doctor.
