Cold and UTI: A UTI can cause infection that can be serious in pregnancy. The cold is very common and rarely ever an issue in pregnancy. Call your OB on Monday and see if they will see you or at least allow you to drop off a urine specimen. Drink lots of fluids and maybe some cranberry juice (not cocktail). For the cold pseudophed and tylenol (acetaminophen) are fine for symptoms.
