I used a Sinus Rinse. Ask your Dr about it. It is in a bluish box that comes with a bottle and packets of powder you mix with warm water. It cleans out your sinuses and my Dr says it is safe for pregnant women. I got it at Walgreens, but I am sure they have it at any drug store. It isn't cheap and is a bit uncomfy to do, but it works and makes me able to function during the day and sleep at night.

I just dug out the folder they gave me at the DRs office and it has a list of safe drugs during pregancy:

Robitussin DM Mucinex
Tylenol Vicks.Halls cough drops
Sudafed Vicks Vapor Rub
Benadryl Claritan
Flonase Mylanta
Tums Zantac
Pepcid AC Thermacare warming patches

I hope you feel better real soon! Being sick while pregnant is a drag!!

as long as you dont have blood pressure issues dani you can take cold medicine i would just call your ob and ask. I caught a terrible cold when i was pg with jax and couldnt take anything because i had blood pressure issues but there is a ton of meds that are safe.

I drank a ton of lemon juice with honey. It was about 1 cup water, 3 tbsp of lemon juice, and 1 tbsp of honey. Nice and not, the hot lemon juice will bring all the yucky stuff up and out, while the honey coats the throat.
