Does anyone know if you can use anti-histamine cream whilst pregnant?

Out of interest does anyone know if you can use antihistamine cream when pregnant. We spent Sunday in the garden and all three of us are covered in what I am assuming are midge bites. Mine are driving me mad especially at night, I go to scratch in bed and end up with horrendous cramp.

Piriton tablets are OK to take and have the addedbonus of making you a bit drowsy if you find nighttime worst

I was prescribed Eurax whilst pg with ds1. Otherwise would calamine lotion work? A bath with oats in a square under the tap also creates a really soothing bath.

yes you can. I got mosquito bites in france and used it. And learned how to say "I am pregnant" in French - the pharmacist taught me...!
