Safe vitamins/herbs to take 1st trimester for cold

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

I feel an icky cold coming on:(

I'm an avid SA user, and it almost ALWAYS works. But, I'm 8 weeks preggo and have heard it could lead to miscarriage so I'm staying away. Can any mamas recommend something that will knock a cold out and is safe in your first trimester?

 

Immune boosters, too?

 

Thanks!!

vit d? I give high amounts to DD and Dh when they get a cold and I swear it knocks them out in a 1/2 a day or maybe we have just been lucky. I haven't been sick this whole pregnancy and I have been taken a high amount (*knock on wood* I still have 3 weeks to go)

I don't know of anything that will get rid of your cold but spicy food and Chinese usually clear out my sinuses for a while to help me feel better.  The worst side effect I've had would be heartburn although I don't recommend spicy if it might be coming back up later.
