Re: cold medicine
This is what it says on BabyCenter, but I would def check with your OB first...
Category B:
Guaifenesin, an expectorant (Hytuss, Mucinex, Naldecon Senior EX, Robitussin)
Dextromethorphan, a cough suppressant (Benylin Adult, Robitussin Maximum Strength Cough, Scot-Tussin DM, Vicks 44 Cough Relief)
Guaifenesin plus dextromethorphan (Benylin Expectorant, Robitussin DM, Vicks 44E)
Cough drops
Vicks VapoRub
Not safe to take:
Cold remedies that contain alcohol
The decongestants pseudoephedrine and phenylephrine, which can affect blood flow to the placenta

Re: cold medicine
I am just getting over a horrible cold. My OB said Robitussin DM and Claritin only. I was so congested in my nose I was miserable and couldn't sleep - my high risk doctor said to take Benadryl at night which helped the nasal congestion and let me sleep.
Double check with your OB. I hope you feel better - it's s ucks so bad!!!
