Call your doctor and get a script. It's better to do it that way. Or you can as the doc to give you a list of everything you can take over the counter. My doc gave me a list but I don't have it anymore sorry. I think you might be able to take sudafed but don't take my word for it. Call the doc.

Try inhaling steamy air from a hot shower or put your head over a bowl with hot water & eucalyptus oil, cover your head with a towel & breath deeply. Try this before you even consider any prescription meds. If you really need something heavier your pharmicist can advise you (probably better than your doc) on which is safest in pregnancy. Do keep in mind than sinusy problems are very common in pregnancy & you might just have to ride this through like so many of the other wonderful pregnancy symptoms. Good luck with it & take care.

It is unsafe to take just about anything when you are pregnant. If possible I would avoid all medications, and definately avoid all over the counter medications without checking with your doctor.
