Doctors told me Sudafed and Tylenol were safe to take during pregnancy

I wouldn't take any cold medications while pregnant. It is not worth the risk to the baby. It is safe to take tylenol however. Just try the old fashioned remedies - chicken soup, orange juice and lots of rest. There may be some medications that are safe to take according the pharmacist, but I still wouldn't risk it.

My doctor told me tylenol, sudafed, benadryl and robatussin DM. I took all of these while pregnant with my daughter because I had a terrible terrible cold in my first trimester and everything is fine.

You can take tylenol and sudafed, and there are a few other things you can take. It is best to confirm with your dr before taking anything though, to be on the safe side.

There is none, because cold is a virus.. and virus is self-limiting.. However, you should drink loads of fluids and take Vitamin C to improve your immune system. Take a rest and get enough sleep.

You can't take any cold medicines!!!!
You can call your pharmacist to double check.... but I had a cold while I was pregnant, and I wasn't allowed to take anything...
But! Take vitamin C and zinc.. that will help alot! And drink orange juice.....
Hope you get better soon!

You need to ask your own OB/GYN. What is safe for one pregnant woman to take is not safe for all, because we do not know your medical history.
