Does Taking Robutussin During Preganancy Cause Drowsiness In Fetus?
Hi!I have been having a really bad cough for over three months and was advised by my doctor to take robutussin. I purchased the store brand one and took two teaspoons which was recommended. I immediately got nauseous and fwlt really sick. Anyway ever since then the baby has been moving very slow or not moving at all compared to what I am use too. Could he be drowsy? Should I be conserned? Oh i forgot to mention I am 29 weeks pregnant. Please help
