Yes I'm on my 2nd cold this pregnancy. Doctor told me I could take benadryl. Otherwise doc said it's OK and I found that afrin nose spray works well to open up your nose so you can breathe

Every pregnancy I have had, my nose stuffs up for months, it stinks.. Sudafed never helps me, but sleeping facing a fan helps for some reason.. I do it every night just to be able to sleep. Maybe it will help? Feel better!

Plain Sudafed is what my doctor tells me! As long as there is no additives in it of course!
