Pregnant and have a cold.
 
Everyone I've personally asked about this hasn't given me an answer.
So I have this like really nasty cold.
And i'm 9 weeks pregnant.
I need to know if there is anything I can take to make this better?
I've always thought your not supposed to take any over the counter medication.
Or do I just have to grin and bear it?

I guess it depends on what symptoms you're having. I was told by my doctor that it was okay to take any kind of Tylenol. I was also given the OK to take Sudafed and Robitussin DM. I used them during my pregnancy and my son is fine.

You should definitely talk to your doctor before taking anything. Tylenol is OK, but I would definitely get an OK from the doc before taking anything else. Best of luck, hope you start feeling better soon!

FYI: I just grinned and beared it, it wasn't too bad.

my doctor let me take sudafed. But i suggest asking your doctor. It all really depends on how your pregnancy is going.

You need to ask your doctor, most doctors wont suggest taking anything for a cold and to just wait it out.

I personally chose to take absulely nothing through both of my pregnancies because I was nervous. Definitely call your doctors office, they'll tell you whats safe.

i think your only allowed to take tylenol only when you are pregnant.

yeah they always tell you just to get rest...and it's not really the easiest when you have a baby inside...I had a 2 yr old at the same time so rest was never an option lol. Hopefully you start feeling better
