Took it every day first pregnancy, and so far every day of this one. OB has no concerns about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-treatments-and-pregnancy#post-2699400 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 16:00:10 +0000 peachykeen 2699400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took Zyrtec every day with my previous pregnancy and am currently taking it everyday with my current pregnancy (awful year-round allergies in Georgia). It's considered very safe and my OBs and MFMs have had absolutely no concerns about it. And it works better than pretty much any allergy med out there! Definitely don't suffer unnecessarily :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergies-treatments-and-pregnancy#post-2699383 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 15:45:05 +0000 bhbee 2699383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Curious what others with bad allergies have done. Mine have been pretty horrible since about 6m after moving to Texas. Our tree season started this month and it's one of my worst triggers. I'm also about 5w pregnant with #3 and nervous about taking meds in first tri but today is awful after being outside at our arboretum yesterday. It's hard to separate pregnancy symptoms from allergy symptoms at times as both make me tired, headachy, etc but I'm guessing I can't make it through first tri without treating allergies. </p> <p>What have you taken or decided not to take? I usually would have allergra and Flonase (both cat c), I also stared shots last August and will be continuing them. Thinking about trying Zyrtec or rhinocort which are cat b - I'd like to go without but I think it will not be doable once I'm sicker in a few weeks. Thanks for any input! </p>
