cold meds

onlyme27

I have cold. That's just great since my choice of cold meds are so limited during preg. I am concerned about taking cold meds now with so many drugs being recalled for their effects on children lately. The doc says I can take sudafed (which doesn't help me) and benadryl (makes me sleepy). My question is if it makes me sleepy how does it effect the baby? Is there anything I can take?

thanks. I am just trying to get an idea what is safe. My sister had taken tylenol products when she was preg but I didn't know if that was a common thing.
