i know you're really not supposed to have much caffeine but I drink it all the time

@milam0926, i was able to drink sprite I can't anymore.

I took robitussin at 9 weeks. Didn't know any better but my baby is completely heathy. My dr gave me that same piece of paper at 10 weeks and told me they were safe to take.

Tylenol cold! Only issue I had w it while pregnant is I felt like it wore off fast since it's not a very "strong" cold medication. I hope you feel better! I'm just now getting over a cold and now just praying that my 5 month old doesn't end up with one

@athomas,

you just have to be very cautious bc every pregnancy is different and every dr says different things. i drink dr pepper all the time bc i crave it. but also because Sprite Sierra mist 7 up anything like that makes me vomit idk why

@milam0926, I understand. that's not a problem. So far in my pregnancy every Dr is different there are some that say this is safe to take and there are some who say that its not safe to take and they are the same medicines. I just try to help other new moms out too. I have been given conflicting answers on different medicines.

@milam0926, no problem. i completely understand how you feel. Ive been battling the crud for a while.

nurse** typo

@athomas, im a nurse myself. i took tylenol cold when i was 6 weeks pregnant. i wouldnt put my baby at risk or at harm. although im a nirse i still made sure through my dr (baby dr) hes been one for 20+years

@milam0926, thank you!!

@athomas, I just took some allergy medicine to try to get some relief but will call my doc in a few hours and see

I wouldn't take any cold medicine in the first trimester. None of it is safe. You can take delsm or just plain robitussion. I would try benedryl. At least it might help you not be as congested.

@scidg3, I was planning to just can't this early. Didn't know if anyone else got approval for some kind of cold medicine

I would call doc on something like that. @jleightutt
