1st Trimester
Being sick and pregnant sucks!
So this pregnancy has been so rough, and to add more to it, im sick again.
This time its a caugh and I have so much phlem that at times I throw up cause its just stuck in my throat. I have bothered the dr so many times already being sick i dont wanna call and ask a stupid question.
Does anyone know of something I can take and that works to get this phlem out? The weird thing is that its clear and thick, not green. So its not an infection.
TIA!

Re: Being sick and pregnant sucks!
When it comes to taking medication in the first trimester you should ALWAYS call your Dr. What one persons Dr. says is OK, will be on another person's Drs. no-no list. Call the nurse, tell them your symptoms and they'll tell you what is safe to take. The only thing my Dr. OKd in the first Tri is Tylenol- for everything else it's a "does the benefit outweigh the risk". I agree, being sick and pregnant does suck! I hope your Dr. Oks something!!
I am pretty sure robitussin and regular sudafed are on the "general" list of ok medicines, the ones that would fit your needs anyway, but you should just call your Dr. to check that they approve them. Trust me that its a valid question and will not be annoyed by the call. Hope you feel better soon.
Have you ever tried a netti pot or nasal wash? It's probably starting there and draining down your throat.
My acupuncturist gave me this nasal wash system and I have a netti pot as well- it helps a lot and there is no medicine used to harm the baby.
