as long as you are sure it's a cold, why bother? they'll tell you exactly what you just said. That being said, hang in there....

Also, early pregnancy can mimic cold symptoms - snuffiness especially. not much you can do.

I am so sorry. That is the worst. Hope it passes quickly!!!!

@Torchwood: I think this lists more or less what you can take, although I would check anything to make sure it's safe in first tri:

Hope you're feeling better soon!

Ugh, I'm there today too! I should call the doctor, but even if they approved something, I'm not up for going out and getting medication. DH could bring me something, but not until he gets home from work much later

I hope you feel better soon!

Had the same thing at fifteen weeks... It just straight out sucks, but you are right, they will tell you to tough it out as much as possible. Took me almost two weeks to feel fully on the mend.

I would go to the doctor to make sure to get a green light on meds to take especially during your first trimester.

I've caught at least 5 colds during this pregnancy and was told I could take Nyquil (non alcohol) for relief by my doc.

I was the same at the beginning of this pregnancy and have caught a cold maybe twice during and I just take halls for my throat and my MW gave me a list of things I could take and Robitussin was one and Tylenol cold so I just use Tylenol and Gatorade and water that's bout it. But every doc is different so I would check with your doc first
