If you don't have a high blood pressure, go for it. Sudafed raises blood pressure, but if you have low/normal, you'll be fine.

Get well soon!!

I take whatever is on the approved medicine list and sudafed is on it!

I gave in and took it, but it made me crazy hyper. I was miserable because I couldn't sleep, and sudafed didn't help that.

DH did find Nasalcrom (which I'd never heard of) that's a nose spray that's category B. Between that and sleeping with nose strips I felt better in a few days.

OH! and hot compresses on my forehead helped with the pressure/pain. I went to bed with a rice pack on my head most nights.

I always consult motherrisk.org for these type of concerns: http://www.motherisk.org/prof/updatesDetail.jsp?content_id=881

They have sudafed as "possibly safe" which means while it isn't necessarily dangerous to the fetus, there is limited info that states it is safe for the fetus. You can probably limit how much you take to a couple of days- and talk to your pharmacist- he/she may have a better recommendation to treat your symptoms.

@reverie: girl I'm a pharmacist too! I work 11 hour days and I can't imagine feeling like crap! Plus it's a Tuesday so I'm sure it's nuts by you, just go ahead! When I was pregnant I always took 1 first to see if that would do the trick

@reverie: omg I just want to yell at everybody! It was my weekend to work and I got yelled at because someone didn't have their insurance information and was mad the company was closed. Totally my fault on a Sunday when their scripts had been ready for. 2 weeks! I often wonder what I'm doing.....
