Sick Preggo

As if pregnancy symptoms weren't enough, I woke up this morning sick! Like, super sore throat, body aches and overall crumbiness : thankfully no fever though cause I know being 102 or over is bad for pregnant women.

So, first question is... Being sick at only 5 1/2 weeks along wont harm baby too much will it?

Second question, WHAT can I do to feel better?!?! I'm the kind of gal who chugs DayQuil/NyQuil at the first sign of a cough and now that I'm pregnant I feel like I'm just stuck to suffer! Aaahhhhh!!!!!

    I'd see your doctor, even if you normally wouldn't for this kind of cold. 

    I'm suffering a cold right now, too - I've done cough drops, lots of water, honey and lemon tea.  I've heard plain old Sudafed is okay, but I'd want to double check that. I'm okay so far suffering through without any OTC meds, but if you're really hurting, I'm sure there are some things you can take (I'm thinking Tylenol and Benadryl are probably fine).

    I've heard that Tylenol and Bendaryl are okay. Sudafed is questionable though. I think calling your doctor is the best bet. Focus on lots of fluids, rest and vitamins! Good Luck and I hope you feel better real soon!

    I have been sick since Saturday night. My OB said no sudafed until after first tri. I have been using tylenol. You can use a Neti pot, salt water gargle, cough drops without alcohol, lemon tea. If symptoms don't improve see your PCP. I think mucinex is safe but check with your OB. Hope you feel better I am miserable.

    Thanks! I slept a lot today and drank tons of lemon honey tea and water which all helped. I called the nurse who gave me a list of what I could take but I'm going to see if I can get by without any drugs. Hope you get better quickly too!
