Not clear: Delsym (dextromethorphan) is a pregnancy class c, which means it is not clear whether it is safe or not. I would discuss with your ob/gyn whether the benefits outweigh the risks.

No: The U.S. Food and drug administration has classified delsym (dextromethorphan polistirex) as a pregnancy category c medication, which means it may not be safe for pregnant women to use this cough suppressant.
