Anyone Have Any 'Pregnancy Safe' Cough Remedies

in Pregnant after a Loss
Like perhaps something natural?

I can't get in to see my doctor today, but I have a wet cough that really isn't that great.  Logically I realize I can't cause a miscarriage by coughing, but I'm still worried about it.  Any ideas on how to take care of my lungs and maybe at least keep the cough from turning into something more serious. (I am prone to Bronchitis, Pneaumonia, etc).  

Andplusalso, every time I cough I gag, so I need to get this under control before I ruin DH's Valentine's Day and completely gross myself out.  Any ideas?

I usually drink this bronchial formula licorice tea, but I'm pretty sure that isn't safe.... I'm desperate!

    Thanks @theresa858, I might have to try that.  

    I've been researching teas and know black and green are out, and Roobios is supposed to be ok.  I have to try something!

    Wish I'd planned ahead and ordered some pregnancy tea or something :P

    Black and green tea are out because they inhibit folic acid absorption - yep. I drink only rooibois and peppermint tea at this point. 

    Neti pot nasal rinse helps to clear the sinuses and ease post-nasal drip.

    Robitussin DM is on my "safe list" from my OB, as are Halls cough drops. 

    My acupuncturist recommends eating pears for chest congestion.

    I would suggest Halls but they aren't natural.

    It's not an immediate remedy, but make sure you have a humidifier. That helps me a lot. Also, agree with Halls. My doc said they were fine, just follow the directions and don't take too many. Hope you feel better soon!

    Thanks ladies! Halls aren't my favourite, but I'll give them a try. Been drinking peppermint tea too, and its helping :-)
