QUESTION** can I use afrin for nasal congestion??

No... and we should be avoiding sudafed as well. "Simply saline" is the safest route while pregnant.

I'm not sure. but if you can't- if I recall my ob said sudafed is safe.

my ob gave me a list of safe medications and I'm pretty sure it had afrin on it, but thank you @fsubabemay @misskaebby

I just don't have the list, it's at home @fsubabemay @misskaebby

hope this well help

Not trying to freak ppl out, but neither are ruled as totally "safe." There are unknowns with both and your Drs should be discussing risks/benefits with you. Of course safest would be non-drug routes. Basically Dr. says to avoid.

@lil_bigmama, thank you

@fsubabemay, I understand, thank you

nasal sprays are fine. you're not ingesting it

@arijane316 thank you
