My doctor told me robitussin was ok to use while pregnant. Before I saw her and knew I could use robitussin, I used hot lemonade or hot apple juice with a little honey and drank it slow. That worked well for me.

Yes....My Dr. Prescribed robitussin dm...(alcohol free)...Little did I know I could;ve taken benadryll to soothe some of my other symptoms!!! I thought it was listed as childrens benadryll so I didn't bother....It was just a typo so I had to bare my congestion and horrible cough!!! Lol...I was soo pissed when I found out I could've taken benadryll to help me fall and stay asleep with a cough!!

So yea....Robitussin is ok for pregnant women...And in your case it is totally safe...

Here is a list of safe medicines that my wife's ob doc gave to to us:

fever: tylenol, extra-strength tylenol (max 4000 mg a day)

headache: tylenol, extra-strength tylenol

cough: robitussin, robitussin dm, benedryl

sore throat: chloraseptic spray or lozenges, salt water garrgles

sinus congestion: decongenstant: sudafed (after the first trimester)
nasal spray: ocean spray, afrin nasal spray
antihistamine: benedryl

heartburn: tums, rolaids, mylanta, maalox, pepcid, zantac

constipation: colace, surfak, milk of magnesia, senekot, metamucil, citracel, fibercon

nausea: emetrol

diarreah: imodium ad, kaopectate

this list is what we were told was safe, and we abided by it. You should check with your ob but as far as I can tell, nothing on this list is dangerous.

I am sure I have read somewhere on here that women recommend others take it while ttc because it thins out the linings in your uterus apparently!

I have been sick for the last week and a half and called my dr and they said that I could take robitussin dm for my cold and benadryll for itchy eyes and alageries/sleep if needed. However every dr is different and will tell you that you may take something else. Just ask if it's alright for you.
