I know how terrifying it is to catch a cold during pregnancy and worry about every single medicine. But please do not take NyQuil right now. It has multiple active ingredients and alcohol, which are not considered safe. Please call your gynecologist immediately for a safe prescription.
My sister was strictly told by her doctor to avoid NyQuil during her pregnancy last year. It contains antihistamines and pain relievers that might not be safe for the baby. Better to stick to warm steam inhalation and check with her doctor.
Pregnancy is a time when even tea and coffee are monitored, so taking a heavy syrup like NyQuil is definitely a big no. Trust me, you don't want to take any chances here. Let the gynecologist handle this, do not do any self-treatment.
I just delivered my baby last month and had a horrible cold in my second trimester. My doctor explicitly warned me against taking NyQuil because of the alcohol and active compounds in it. She prescribed a simple, safe paracetamol instead. Please consult your doc.
