Can I take sudafed?

Just plain ole sudafed? I have raging sinus congestion but hate to call the on call on new years day! Any idea?

Yes! Be sure to get the version that they sell behind the counter...it's what you can take when you're PG. I did.  Good luck! Have you tried a neti pot? Total life saver.

When I was pg, I had a "stuffy" nose too, but my dr. said it wasn't because of mucus or congestion per se, but just because of the increased blood volume causing my nasal passages to swell.

I also bought this stuff called Ayr, it's like a nasal lubricant. Since it's winter and you're probably breathing in tons of forced heated air in your house, which is  drying out your sinuses, it might help.

Oh, and I tried the netti pot too, but since my issue wasn't caused by congestion, it didn't work

The netti pot won't work because I'm THAT congested!

I had the same exact problem, and Ayr also helped me.
