hayfever hell

[twoundertwowillbefun]

Right - second pregnancy thru the summer a i've just started suffering terribly again...I literally look like I've broken up with EVERYBODY; leaky eyeballs, snotty nose, general blotchiness and super sonic sneezes (which can make me we a bit too but that's a whole other thread)....please give some ideas that work to relieve it a bit, chasing after my 19 month old DD with this is hell

Piriton and beconase have both been given to me this year by gp as I've found its one of the worst hay fever years for me in a long time. (Pharmacist may not provide without a prescription if you look obviously pregnant)

I'm 6 months and fairly heavy now....otherwise I'd be trying that!

I've taken ceterizine throughout my whole pregnancy and I'm now 38 weeks pregnant.

hi two under - sorry if I wasn't clear - I'm also pregnant. The pharmacist wasn't happy to sell me the anti histamines but advised me to speak to my gp and get a prescription which is what I did - so have been able to take them with gp's blessing.

Cetirizine is approved by the nhs for pregnancy. Double checked with midwife, all is well. Thank fuck.

Just buy it in a supermarket, that's what I do.

Loratidine is also OK in pregnancy according to NHS site. You can buy them in supermarkets and other shops/chemists
