I think I'm catching a cold

Everyone has a cold, and I think I might have caught it. I am very tired and my throat is feeling a little scratchy, and I feel a little sinus draining. And my nose is starting to stop up.
What do you do when your pregnant with a cold. It isn't really bothering me so I don't want to just call the DR. I will be 10 weeks on Thursday and am nervous about taking meds during the first trimester.

    I got sick around the same time in my pregnancy, along with everyone else on this board I think (between 6-9 weeks)! Alot of people suggest the neti pot. My OB said if I needed to take something that any of the Tylenol products are safe and Robitussin DM.

    Steam and an open window, alternating back and forth. Rest!

    I have had congestion on and off and am now 26 weeks. I broke down and used the neti pot and it was great. It really helped me at night. I am still fighting the congestion but at least I know I can get some relief! I thought it was a cold at first but I think it is just nasal congestion from the pregnancy : (
    hope you feel better soon

    *sigh* You suffer through it and tell yourself it's for a good cause!

    I was very sick for a few weeks in early pregnancy, and I was too paranoid to take anything so I just suffered through it. And if you think housework is piling up now, just wait until those babies are here!
