Hi I wonder if anyone can shed some light on this topic?
I'm looking to have another baby but for the last year have had Hives which are easily controlled with antihistamines but play absolute havoc if not kept in check....
I went to the Dr's and he was really quite unhelpful. He said most pregnant women take Piriton which contains chlorphenamine. HOWEVER, he then went on to say that what I currently take, Cetirizine which is in Zyrtek etc, should be fine too according to his books although either have been tested on pregnant women and the risks are still unknown although there hasn't been anything negative documented either.... If anyone has had to take antihistamines whilst pregnant please help!!!!
