CAN I TAKE MEDICATION SAFELY

Hi i have a cold, i cant breathe im bunged up, coughing, sneezing the usual, but i realised after taking my cold tablets, that it says not to take when pregnant, anyone know anything about this?  And will it harm my bump if i already took 1?

Im sure you will be fine. MOST people dont even know their pregnant at 5 weeks and have done alot worse... I think they call it a grace period?
