Piriteze

Been told by a midwife to take antihistamines for itching, wasn't told to buy certain ones, didn't think anything of it and just bought piriteze.
The back says to consult the doctor if I'm pregnant, also looked on nhs website which doesn't really make it clear if I should or shouldn't, just, again, that I should consult a doctor.
Has anyone spoken with a doctor and been told it's ok to take these? Has anyone any experience with taking these themselves in the third trimester?

I'd go to ask the doctor to prescribe you one. The link below gives two as the safest ones, but gives their actual names rather than their brand names.

Low dose piriteze is fine.

It's one of the two listed(cetirizine).
