Is there ANYTHING??

I have a really bad cold, sore throat, bad headaches....everytime I cough my whole chest hurts bad, throwing up etc...is there anything I can take? I know they say pregnant women can't take anything, but I can't even take Dimetapp or Robitussin...I'm not worried about the headaches, but everytime I cough it hurts my stomach and chest...and now I'm cramping probably because of the coughing...anything anything??? Nothing??

Well at least I'm feeling the baby kick...it's just I'm not used to getting the period like cramps anymore...in the beginning yes, but at 6 months, no...Yea, almost all of my co-workers are sick and they're coming next to me like "oh I'm sick" and I'm like "well then get the hell away from me" lol and I ended up sick...my baby's dad has strep throat...everyother person at work is sick if not on the verge...ugh!! And I already missed 2 days of work this week...I want to go home so bad I feel like **** but my supervisors and I are working on a big project and they need me here, but my body hurts...and I don't even know what I'm saying I'm so out of it...I called my doctors they said I can't get a flu shot because I'm sick...=(

Its not too late to get flu shot, Its just that there has been a flu outbreak but not with a strain that was in the shot. But it does lessen the symptoms.  The cramping could be muscle strain from coughing.  gosh being sick and PG sux bad ~d

You can take Robitussin for a cold and Tylenol for your headache. But from the sounds of your description, you are beyond over the counter remedies. You should call your Dr. You may have the flu. Have you had your flu shot yet???

Yea, that's what I need to do...I'm having cramps now...I just hope it's because I've been coughing alot...my first pregnancy I was sick and coughing alot and I miscarried, I just hope that wasn't a part of the reason....you know how when you cough your stomach muscles strain...does that affect the baby and the baby's health?
