Pregnant with cold

[Grace]

Okay, it's official. I have a cold. Genie and Kim were right. At least my ear isn't bothering me a much or I am distracted by my clogged head. What can a pregnant woman take for a cold? I have been just vaporizing and that's it which is only doing marginal good.

Hey Grace! You know I am not the nurse but my doctor says it is fine to take Sudafed. I have been suffering through a cold also. Hope you feel better soon. :hug:

[Grace]

Well, there's not much I can do about it now. Steve's taking the car all day to work and we're supposed to have a blizzard today, tonight, and tomorrow. I was just wondering what I could do once I was no longer snowed in.

I hope your cold goes away for you soon hon

Plenty of rest!!

You might want to check before you take sudafed with your high BP they would never let me take it when I was pregnant. If you nose is stuffy you can try running a vaporizer or getting salt water drops for your nose. They work great and you can use them when the baby comes if she has a runny nose too.

Yep, with hypertension, I would contact your OB/GYN's office, remind them of the high BP & ask what they'd recommend. I'm certain that you'd need a decongestant, just for the simple fact it will help reduce the pressure in your ear, or at the minimum, get rid of the yucky fluid feeling! :yuck: I'd also ask, but I'm sure you could use Tylenol (acetominophen) for pain or headache.

Humidify, push fluids, rest, salt water drops, chicken soup and a big :hug: from all of your Baby U friends!! Always good remedies!

Good luck, sweetie! Hope you feel better soon! :heart:

:yipee: My cold is on the way out! I can hardly wait until it's completely gone!
