    Unfortunately this early in pregnancy, you are doing pretty much all that can be done. once you are a little further in your pregnancy ( out of the first trimester) your doctor can recommend other things. Right now you are doing all the right things. Treat body aches or fevers with Tylenol.

    Good luck and congrats!

    A humidifier in my room helped me breathe a lot better at night when I was having some sinus issues early on. Otherwise you are doing great with getting your vitamin c in the juice and taking your regular vitamins. If you get achy you can take regular strength tylenol, but I would double check with your physician before taking cold meds as some of the safe lists have been modified in the last year or so and different doctors will have different opinions on what they think is best for you. If you can get through it without cold medicine that's even better.

    I had your same problem. I am 8 wks today. I went and the doctor told me to take childrens dymatape to help with the symptoms. It helps alot! He also said not to take anything with an antihistamine in it until after the 1st trimester. I hope you start feeling better soon. Congrats and good luck as well.

    The only advise you should be taking from anyone on here is to see your Dr.

    You are allowed to take only certain medicines this early in pregnancy. Doctors let women who are further along take a few more things than women this early in pregnancy. Your baby is in a very critical developing stage, so only listen to your doctor!!

    Good Luck!!!

    & Congrats!!!

    Don't worry. If you keep drinking water and orange juice then your cold should be gone a couple days. Thats what I did.

    Take Robitussin its the only med besides vicks 44 that you can take.. Since they are alcohol free and they cant hurt the baby take the recommended dose
