I think mucinex is ok, but double check. Robitussin DOES help a lot. I had to resort to that a few weeks ago, cause it hurt my pelvis so much to cough.

@locavore_mama: The one without the expectorant. I just wanted to dry up and not cough up tons of crud.

@locavore_mama: Mine was like that, too...i chalked it up to the extra fluids that pregnancy gives me anyways. I've been sneezing the whole pregnancy, just as a usual side effect for me, but that cough was really bad!

Vicks vapor rub, eucalytpus oil in humidifer, and cough drops!

Neti pot. Gargle with salt water for sore throat. Honey. And dark chocolate!

I'd call your OB to get a list of okay OTC meds to take while pregnant. I know there's one Robitussin you're not suppose to take. My OB gave me a list when I went in for my first appointment with both of my kids. Still, I called to confirm anyway.

I know the feeling as I've been coughing for the last two weeks myself, but I'm not pregnant so I've been taking meds. I also eat a tablespoon full of honey right before bed to help with the cough. It's helped a lot. Also, have you tried to sleep with your arms raised above your head? When I took my oldest in to see a doctor a few weeks ago that doctor joking said something about sleeping with his arms raised up high. I tried it while sleeping after I got sick and it actually helped! I thought he was kidding.

Hope you feel better soon!
