Pregnancy and Colds..

[Kristafish]

Since Sunday I have had a bad cold.. I put a call into the doctor's office but who knows when they will call me back(sometimes it's not until about closing time at 5)..
I have no idea if I can take anything~I'm sure I can but I don't know what..
I am so stuffed up most of the time, other times my nose runs.. I am coughing, sneezing, watery eyes~UGH~It stinks..
Sometimes it's hard for me to breathe because my nose is so stuffed.
I have tried taking hot showers and so on to clear it up, it last about 3 minutes..

I'm 29 weeks..
Would you take something or wait for the office to call back?
I just want some relief :)

Have you tried saline drops? You can buy these at drugstores or prepare a solution at home. Just dissolve 1/4 teaspoon salt in 8ounces of water. Place a few drops in each nostril, wait 5 to 10 minutes, and then gently blow your nose.

This might get you through until the doc calls back.
