Anyone else have/had a cold first trimester?

11 weeks today and woke up with a cold yesterday. Just when I thought I was getting my energy back, I get hit with this. My midwife told me I could take robitussin and tylonol. I'm just sort of paranoid that the cold or the medicine will affect the baby. Anyone else get a cold during their pregnancy?

I always get a sinus cold, but there was a 4-week thing going around school this time and I just toughed it out with a humidifier next to my face at night and some tylenol when I was really desperate.

Benadryl is safe to. It's really common to catch a bug during pregnancy. Your body is focused on the baby so defenses are down. Hope you feel better :)
