Im 32 weeks pregnant and i have a really bad cold, i asked my doctor what medicene i could take and he said Vick's Nyquil or Dayquil. It doesnt seem right to me though cause nyquil is some strong stuff.

I wouldn't if I were you! I had 2 colds when I was pregnant, and I just tough it out! My doctor didn't want me to even take Echinacea.

No, I was told right at the beginning NOT to take Nyquil or Dayquil, but I could take Tylenol even Tylenol pm, I had a cold and I tried that and caughdrops and after a while I was good to go! I hope you feel better!!

The way I see it is just because your pregnant doesn't mean you have to put biology on hold...I say take it...forget the politically correct...I'm sure being miserable isn't condusive to a good pregnancy...my one suggestion would be not to take the nyquil because it has alcohol in it...instead take tylenol cold capsules...non alcoholic and more cold medication per dose...unless it's the nyquil liquidcaps, but they are very weak compared to the liquid version or tylenol cold...tylenol cold...uber shtuff..

Just because you pregnant lady don't mean you should take any of Vick's stuff. Go buy your own Nyquil

I don't think NyQuil has the same ingredients it used to. They changed it to keep it on the shelf instead of behind the pharmacy counter, so it might not be so "strong" anymore.

Try increasing your water in take. Flush the germs away. There is no cure for the cold anyway and it is hard to know the difference between colds and allergies.
I would also check out your cleaning supplies. You might be more sensive now to the chemicals.More natural the better for you and baby.

If he says it's okay. I like Advil cold and sinus it works great. But, you have to take it every four hours. The symptoms come back about every three hours but, for the time it's working it works great. Hope you feel better!

If the doctor said it's OK, then I guess it would be. Read the label to make sure or get a second opinion

nyquil hasa large amt of alcohal in it. I wouldn't go near it if I were you. I have heard that sudefed is safe, talk to the pharmacist they might be able to help/
