freaking out re:Sudafed post

in Pregnant after a Loss
OK, so I had to go back to class before I could read the responses about my sudafed post. My head hurt so bad in class I couldn't keep my left eye open from the pressure so I popped 2 Sudafed PE's. I then read a few hours later MrsLaurenandJustin's response saying to NOT take them! I'm now freaking out. I called my doc but they're closed for the day. I'm trying not to worry about one dose of this, and went and bought the right Sudafed at a different pharmacy on my way home, but holy crap...I'm so worried I hurt my baby :(

    Cora,

    I am so sorry you're worried. I think you'll be ok with the one dose. Is there an on-call doctor you can call? I'm sure Nicholas is just fine :)

    I am sure you are fine b/c is is just one does.  It would probably be a problem if you took it all the time.  Hoefully you can get a hold of your doc tomorrow and s/he can reasure you that everything will be fine.

    I just found this and I feel a little bit better. Considering I took only 10mg of phenylephrine I won't worry too much. They're essentially the same meds.

    I'm glad you feel at least a bit better. :)

    OH man I am sorry to make you freak out!!!!! I am sure you will be just fine!!!

    I found this, apparently this girl took a dose without realizing it, and her Dr. told her that as long as baby was moving ok not to worry.

    I'm sure he is fine.  The reason they say not to take PE is because its a blood vessel constrictor and thus can constrict the blood flow to the baby-but I doubt if one dose will do any damage.  I would try to call an oncall doc too but mostly stay calm-I'm sure its ok.

    Thanks girls...I'm still confused though since both meds constrict the blood vessels? Either way, I'll only take the regular Sudafed IF I need to. I'm planning on doing the Netipot twice a day until these headaches stop since nothing is absorbed that way!! I did feel him move about 3 hours after I took the meds (still not feeling him regularly but I did get a good kick!!) so I'll take that as a good sign!

    sudafed is on my okay list - I had a horrible cold at the beginning of my pregnancy.  I used it a couple of times and am okay.  I am not sure about the differences between the stuff you can get OTC vs pharmacist -- I had both and nurse told me both were okay.

    I wouldn't worry over one dose. If you took it every night or something, maybe but one dose probably won't hurt anything.
