BabyMakerMachine - 876 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Saline solution for your stuffy nose, vapor rub is always a good thing if you have sore throat or cough (and if your nose is stuffy, get the johnson's baby vapor bath and rub a bit under your nose before bed---it's not as strong so you should be able to handle it). Aside from that, add lots of fluids, get plently of rest, and I would recommend calling your doctor's office before using any medications.... some doctors say this or that is okay, while others say no. I always go with what my current doctor says, even if it contradicts the past. I don't even take added vitamins while I'm pregnant unless my current doctor recommends or allows it. Hope you feel better!

blondie9504 - 876 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I took my prenatal vitamins and drank some orange juice through the day. My Dr told me to take either Acetaminophen(SP?) or Robitussen DM(SP?)I chose to take the Acetaminaphen because I was stuffed up really bad and couldn't breathe but I only took it at night because I was paranoid even though my Dr said it was fine. I just dealt with it through the day and drank orange juice and took warm showers. Good luck! Hope this helps.
