I've read that one gets a pretty stuffy nose because of increased body blood volume and nasal passages being inflamed because of that, but holy cow! Didn't expect THIS much stuffines!!!

"Why?" do you ask yourself? I caught a cold! When you're pregnant, and have a cold, you're miserable. Just plain miserable. Well, everyone, is, aren't they? Of course! Except, a pregnant woman can't take any symptom relief medications!

ARRGGHHH! Incredibly frustrating. About.com pregnancy's section says to not take any OTC cold medication, and one time I found several blog entries (not sure on what site) that listed a very good article from Pharmacists - recommendations on allowable lists of drugs for pregnant women. Sudafed is NOT on the 'good' list. Tho I could take cough medicine when I had a bad cough! See http://coldflu.about.com/od/faqaboutthecold/a/pregnantcolds.htm and I'll try and find that article and link to it.
