Definitely check with your doctor. I had a cold around 14 weeks and my doctor's receptionist said I could take Tylenol or "plain" Robitussin. So when I went to the pharmacy, I asked the pharmacist which was "plain" Robitussin and she said that she wouldn't take anything at all if possible while pregnant. Being pregnant for the first time, I decided to just take her advice and ride the cold out with lots of fluids (mostly juice). It lasted about a week and a half but went away.

My OB OK'd the Following:(*)

(*) Prior to taking any of these meds, ask your own doc first.
