My albuterol/xopenex was approved and with DS, they switched my every day asthma med to one safer for pregnancy. I am no longer on a daily med for that though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-allergies-and-pregnancy#post-2132754 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 11:01:17 +0000 Newbee 2132754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>omgoodness! I've been drinking sprite at least 3 times a week :(</p> <p>@ dc yoga bee - which practice do you go to? I'm in the DC area and go to Capital Women's Care. They tell me that basically everything is ok. I actually wish they would spend more time with me to discuss the risks/benefits of doing some things and warn me about certain things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-allergies-and-pregnancy#post-2132720 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 10:20:05 +0000 wrkbrk 2132720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: oh no!!

I had a coke, and they scolded me of all the dangers to my baby and talked down to me like a child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-allergies-and-pregnancy#post-2132628 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 08:08:24 +0000 wrkbrk 2132628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: please do! I'm curious now! Uh oh. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-allergies-and-pregnancy#post-2132566 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 05:03:08 +0000 dc yoga bee 2132566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: I didn't ask. When I went to the ER on Monday, they said, "you haven't been taking any of your inhalers during the pregnancy have you?" I said no. I have an apt this Friday, and I will make a note to ask her then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-allergies-and-pregnancy#post-2132557 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 02:38:17 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2132557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Claritin<br /> Allergy Shots<br /> Netipot (keep that pollen rinsed out!)<br /> NasalCrom (cromolyn sodium)--check it out!!! It's over the counter and very safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-allergies-and-pregnancy#post-2132548 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 00:41:23 +0000 sunny 2132548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB recommended I switch to Zyrtec when I was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-allergies-and-pregnancy#post-2132530 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 22:37:14 +0000 lovehoneybee 2132530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My midwife okayed Claritin as needed, but I only took it maybe twice? My allergies were actually less severe when I was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-allergies-and-pregnancy#post-2132518 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 21:32:57 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2132518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Benadryl </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-allergies-and-pregnancy#post-2132409 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 17:42:00 +0000 maddyz 2132409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Claritin saved me this fall. I was so sneezy and snotty and the normal supliments I take didn't touch it. When I was pregnant I made SO much snot... It was horrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-allergies-and-pregnancy#post-2132394 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 17:15:19 +0000 macintosh 2132394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have indoor and outdoor allergies as well as asthma. I take several prescriptions, including inhalers. My doc said it's a risk vs. benefit issue - if you're not well enough to support a healthy pregnancy without it, it's best to continue the meds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-allergies-and-pregnancy#post-2132393 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 17:14:40 +0000 LindsayInNY 2132393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also have year round allergies which cross over into foods too and take Zyrtec year round. I have been all throughout pregnancy, with OB permission! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-allergies-and-pregnancy#post-2132388 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 17:07:58 +0000 wrkbrk 2132388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: do you know why your doctor said no inhalers? Just asking bc my doctor okeyed my inhalers during pregnancy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-allergies-and-pregnancy#post-2132383 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 17:04:19 +0000 blackbird 2132383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Claritin.

The combo or peppermint, lavender and lemon is the dream team for allergies. Works amazing for my husband too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-allergies-and-pregnancy#post-2132366 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 16:49:55 +0000 dc yoga bee 2132366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have severe year round allergies. I've tried years of shots with no success. Claritin is what my doctor okayed during pregnancy. 10mg, no D, just plain old Claritin. I can't use any inhalers or shots during pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-allergies-and-pregnancy#post-2132364 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 16:45:46 +0000 Newbee 2132364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 22 weeks pregnant and have been trying to stay med-free throughout the pregnancy, but I normally have awful seasonal allergies. I want to try staying med-free, but I don't know if it'll be possible. </p> <p>What did you take for your seasonal allergies while you were pregnant and how is your baby? </p>
