Pregnant and sick

Yesterday I came down with a bit of a cold and sinus pressure. I really felt drained and thought about what I could do to get some relief! Ofcourse since I'm pregnant I really shouldn't take any meds unless I'm really uncomfortable. So I spoke to my doctor's nurse and she said that Benadryl at night would help me sleep better. I'm still leary about taking medicine but we'll see how tonight goes. Last night was just awful. I slept in spurts and kept drinking water and I had a lot of drainage and stuffiness. I think I may have had a few hours of sleep between 4AM and 7:30AM. I called a couple of friends who are also pregnant and they both went without meds when they were sick. Think I'll stick to green tea with lemon and honey, chicken soup (even though I don't like chicken), water, lots of fruit and some veggies. I need to keep eating healthy for the baby even though I'm sick. Hopefully this will pass quickly!
