Pregnancy symptoms should start easing up in the next few weeks. As for your sinus and congestion problems, my doctor said that if untreated, infection could result which is very unwanted during pregnancy. I would call your doctor and see what he/she says about Robitussin and Sudafed. I was told that I could take the non-alcohol formulas for my cough and congestion for a few days and that the baby would be perfectly fine. I'm not a doc so just check and see what your doctor recommends. You'll probably start to feel a lot better.
