Headaches - Tylenol
Cold - Contac or Tylenol Cold & Sinus
Sinus Congestion - Sinutab, Sudafed, Actifed, or Benadryl

Talk to your dr. Benedryl is not usually recomended for pregnant women. If you are having alot of nasal congestion you can take chortrimaton or sudefed. It could be that your dr can prescribe something that works better tho, so give him a call.

Keep in mind that the baby develops rapidly during the first few months, and after than it is just growth. So, any toxins that you may put in your body are especially dangerous now

im pregnant right now and benadryl is very safe to take. it will just make you sleepy. ask your doctor to give you a list of over the counter medications you can take while pregnant. my doctor did.

What does the label say? I'm pretty sure it says if you are nursing or pregnant, ask your doctor.

No you cannot! My dr did tell me I could take Sudafed though. I would be sure and ask your dr to be safe
