NyQuil and pregnant?!

Question

Is this okay?? I've had a cough for a week and just want a good sleep!

Answer

No , Take robitussin it is safe for baby and helps sleep

Answer

No? I've read a bunch like this though!

Apparently, the reason people get so up in arms about NyQuil is the alcohol content. Which is actually very little, if taken by the recommended dosage. It seems the medical establishment and the world at large find it preferable to just say no to pregnant women as they figure why take the risk and allow you to make your own informed decisions. The active ingredients in NyQuil; acetaminophen [generic Tylenol], dextromethorphan [which is available in Robitussin] and doxylamine succinate [available in antihistamines and more importantly Unisom]. All of these active ingredients are deemed safe for pregnant women. Unisom is recommended for pregnant women experiencing morning sickness in their first trimester. So it's up to you to make your own decision. Does the small amount of alcohol in NyQuil make you uneasy? Then try something else like Robitussin. Otherwise, it's fairly safe to take, provided you follow the recommended dosage. Dr's comments here. http://tinyurl.com/cj4kzfm

Rooibos tea with honey. And drinking warm lemon honey water in the morning. Those two things made me better so quick! I also took elderberry, not a full dose though, for a few days.

Nope.  No NyQuil or such.  I was told to take Robitussin cold go medicine instead.  I took it at 15 weeks for two days due to a cold, and again now at almost 37 weeks.  Fun fun
