Zofran, b6, doxylamine for morning sickness, prenatals. No Tylenol, nothing else. Obviously in an emergency they might switch. Last time I got an infection around 8 weeks and got a really weird antibiotic that was "least bad" for first tri . Nothing for cold or flu but fluids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-meds-were-you-allowed-to-take-in-your-first-trimester#post-2399361 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 22:36:30 +0000 Greentea 2399361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are told not to take anything but tylenol, and even to try not to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-meds-were-you-allowed-to-take-in-your-first-trimester#post-2399274 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 21:31:19 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2399274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to the doctor for a sinus infection that would not go away. She called my OB who recommended Sudafed. She also gave me a prescription for Flonase. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-meds-were-you-allowed-to-take-in-your-first-trimester#post-2398932 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 17:20:59 +0000 mdf106 2398932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MUI831: A lot of doctor's don't like Afrin in general, because it can cause rebound congestion, but I don't think it is especially problematic during pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-meds-were-you-allowed-to-take-in-your-first-trimester#post-2398607 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 14:41:12 +0000 Mommy Finger 2398607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: It's interesting what different doctors will say. I noticed that you had Afrin as approved but my doctor said that was a no no. I was so sick last year during my entire 2nd trimester and that's all I wanted. I went to an ENT and he would do nothing for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-meds-were-you-allowed-to-take-in-your-first-trimester#post-2397732 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 00:27:06 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2397732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB said I could take Sudafed, Robitussin (the plain, basic varieties), and rub Vicks on my chest for my cold while pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-meds-were-you-allowed-to-take-in-your-first-trimester#post-2397583 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 20:17:09 +0000 erinbaderin 2397583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found Claritin helped with the stuffy/runny nose, but that was about all I could take that helped at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-meds-were-you-allowed-to-take-in-your-first-trimester#post-2397547 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 19:30:11 +0000 DesertDreams88 2397547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was the card my ob gave me </p> [attach=5393/15/nzsc2b.600x270.20151222_172729-1.jpg] [attach=5393/15/nzsc2d.600x337.20151222_172719.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-meds-were-you-allowed-to-take-in-your-first-trimester#post-2397495 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 18:25:07 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2397495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing. :/ But things that help if she can stomach it are raw garlic- I mix it into pasta sauce or salad dressing to hide it a bit, or apple cider vinegar- water down and take as a shot. Also chicken soup, and ginger/honey/lemon tea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-meds-were-you-allowed-to-take-in-your-first-trimester#post-2397489 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 18:19:48 +0000 Ms. RV 2397489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tylenol. I got such a bad cold first tri and sooo wanted my alka seltzer cough and cold but that was a no no. I lied and told people I was hiding the pregnancy from that it was allergies to a mold that thrives in the winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-meds-were-you-allowed-to-take-in-your-first-trimester#post-2397459 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 17:32:59 +0000 erinpye 2397459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zofran. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-meds-were-you-allowed-to-take-in-your-first-trimester#post-2397456 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 17:28:52 +0000 ShootingStar 2397456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My PCP wouldn't prescribe anything and made me go to my OB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-meds-were-you-allowed-to-take-in-your-first-trimester#post-2397431 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 16:56:51 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2397431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tylenol. :bummed:<br /> Soooo..... nothing really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-meds-were-you-allowed-to-take-in-your-first-trimester#post-2397424 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 16:50:36 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2397424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor said Tylenol (of course) and any homeopathic cold remedy.

Also 1 T apple cider vinegar, 1T honey, pinch cayenne, pinch ginger. Put in a shot glass and top off with hot water. Take 3x day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-meds-were-you-allowed-to-take-in-your-first-trimester#post-2397220 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 14:43:03 +0000 mediagirl 2397220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not pregnant (you're welcome for that disclaimer). A friend of mine is currently in hiding in her first trimester and she has a terrible cold complete with multiple different ailments. She went to her doctor a week or so ago and she said, "sorry, can't help you." </p> <p>So, I'm curious. If you got really sick in your first tri, were you able to take any drugs to help yourself feel better? </p>
