A member asked:
I am 34 weeks pregnant and currently down with the cold. is there anything that i can take to help with the cold that wont be harmful to or affect my baby?

Good rest/diet: Your cold is generally isolated to your respiratory system & the germs do not spread to baby. Your main goal is to maintain proper sleep/rest/nutrition/ etc. in a way that baby remains well supported by your system. I would avoid taking any OTC meds unless you check them out with your doctor first.
