I totally agree. Ppl have been having babies since LITERALLY the dawn of time, haha. You would think that helpful information would be easier to come by than it is.

Thanks I will have a look online too, I wish I could rest but I have a 10 month old too. I think they should make cold and flu tables for pregnant women rather than letting us suffer!

Ick, I have the same fricking symptoms. I've been sick god three days. They say some over the counter stuff is ok but I prefer to stay away from that stuff for now. My OB told me that plain robatussin is alright, plain mucinex.  However I've been just trying to suck down tons of orange juice. Also rest and taking a prenatal with lots of vitamin c is good. There are several websites online that can let you know not only what OTC you can take but also natural herbs that can be good for you.
