Hi all! I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for things that are safe to take during pregnancy! I am 19 weeks pregnant and I have been trying to avoid taking any cold meds b/c all I have is chest congestion! It`s been with me for about a month now and it`s so embarassing to be wheezing all the time it seems! Chest congestion relief! Help! Thanks!

Harpchick - 65 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I've been fighting bronchitis for a couple months now so I've tried just about everything under the sun. Breathe over a pan of steaming water on the stove, or suck in the vapors form a hot shower. Use a humidifier in your bedroom. Drink hot tea. All of those things should help loosen your chest. Using Vicks Vaporub is allowed, too. Just bear in mind that really serious chest congestion can compromised your oxygen saturation levels, which in turn can affect your baby. So it's really severe, go see your doc. I've been on a prescription inhaler to help open up my chest to keep my O2 levels good, and I feel loads better.
