  • Me too i hope you get a good answer! Its driving me mental my eyes are gettin so sore and sick of not being able to breathe through my nose so i feel your pain! X
  • Well after speaking with my midwife she advised not to take anything in first 12 weeks but after thugs I can use a nasal spray. So hope this helps u xx
  • My dr told me both loratadine(claritin) and benadryl are safe to take.
  • I have it, it sucks. I've had it my whole life though so most of the time I just deal with it. I take benedryl at night If its reallly bad
  • Oh I c thanx ladies, I got to suffer for another 4 weeks til I reach the 12 week stage n then I week b taking something cos its annoying me. Thanx again x
  • My doctor is a high risk specialist and while I see him for other reasons... he allows me to take; Nasonex nasal spray, Benedryl, Zyrtek, and the occasional pain reliever. Mine causes horrible sinus infections that seem to never go away! I can't wait for my pregnancy to be over so I can breathe. I'm on bedrest from not breathing out of my nose... it sucks. (25 days left)

    Oh and I use a neti-pot to irrigate my sinuses and its supposed to help with most allergies...
