I'm 13 weeks, and I have thee worst cold I've ever had in my life! I can't sleep, my nose is so stuffed up. I have to breathe through my mouth which makes me throw up. What are you allowed to take while pregnant for this? I can't get ahold of my doc to ask....thanks!:)

tylenol! and drink as much h2O as you can! Take some vit c too! I had a bad cold while pregnant, sounds like what you have! I tried to drink water, and drink hot stuff! Maybe try an expectorant! (Something herbal!)

Wow, this brings back memories. when I was pregnant I had a cold every other month. Sometimes I couldnt breathe just like you can't...through the nose. I wouldn't take anything for it. I was so strict on myself with my pregnancy..i didnt allow any meds, caffeine or anything. I remember though asking my doctor about medicine...and they said DO NOT take ibuprofen. I remember her saying acetametaphin if that is how u spell it (tylenol) .
I just found this link. Maybe you could read it and it will help you out more:

I wouldn't take anything without talking to a dr. But my dr said it was okay to take Sudafed and Robitussin DM. The sudafed helped but I was up for days from taking it. Hope ya feel better
Oh yeah and also i was told not to take any cough drops with menthol in it.

Not much - the cold will run its course and you will have to endure it. Mine dragged on for 2.5 weeks but cleared up just in time for Christmas.

tylenol for pain and fever, chicken soup, hot tea with lemon and honey and vicks vapor rub on your chest. get to bed and lay with pillows to keep you partly sitting up. laying flat will stuff your nose more. Cover up with warm blanket and sleep. hope your better in about a day or 2

My OB allowed Sudafed, Tylenol, and Robetussin.
That was it.
And every OB has a different list of approved/non-approved drugs.

My doc let me take Sudafed. That helped the congestion immensely.

Only Tylenol and you can take Sudafed if dr.allows it.It's alot of chemicals and drugs in these medicines so you have to be careful of what you take.
