Sick while pregnant?

It's like driving while intoxicated, it's just a bad idea!
So on Monday I started getting a cold and on Tuesday, my voice was gone! Took a sick day on Tuesday and avoided talking all day and it came back on Wednesday. I was still sore but on Wednesday I chose to work, I mean come on, it was New Years Eve and I wasn't staying home! So I talked all day on Wednesday for work. Have you ever known me not to talk, seriously? I went to a bar New Years Eve and had to talk over music. By 1am my voice was gone, AGAIN. Except this time, it's not coming back and my throat still hurts. As do my ears and the rest of my body in general.

Here's the problem (outside of feeling like crap): medication...or the lack there of. I have been taking Tylenol Cold. I know what some of you will say "you shouldn't take medications when you're pregnant" but my doctor told me "don't torture your self". But Tylenol is really the only thing I can take. I want to take Nyquil, and all the other great things I took before the bambino. But what to do...the first of many sacrifices I will make for my child and I'm very willing to do so! I will suffer through and take another sick day. Hopefully I'll be better by Monday!
