    Yes but only a certain type so make sure you ask the pharmacy which one and let them know your pregnant.

    My doc said yes, but not for more than 48 hours.

    My doc said no to sudafed (or any other congestion med). I'd call your doctor to double check what he/she recommends.

    My OB and pharmacist says yes.  The one behind the counter.  I took it for 4 or so days during first trimester....  baby doing well.  I would check with your OB.

    I have terrible allergies and took a LOT of sudafed before (if my allergies were bad, 2 a day for weeks at a time).  Once I found out I was pg, I totally stopped after DH (who is a doctor) told me it was a Class C drug.  My OB says it's fine, so I'm kind of conflicted - I really try not to take it unless I have a completely debilitating headache because it's the only thing that truly helps.  I also react pretty strongly to medications - I can sleep for days after one benadryl, so I have major concerns about the stimulant effect of Sudafed.

    my OB said after 16 weeks its ok. I think the biggest concern with it is that it raises your heart rate.
