Just taken piriton help

[lmj25]

I've just started having an allergic reaction on my face and reached straight for a piriton tablet without thinking. In a mad panic now. Will I have harmed the baby ? I'm 31 weeks tomorrow.

Just one no - my close friend is so allergic she took anti histamine during the entire pregnancy

found this

Alternatively, your doctor may advise you to take chlorphenamine (Piriton), which is also considered to be safe during pregnancy, although you shouldn't take it close to your due date. If you take it when you are near to giving birth, the drug could affect your newborn, causing him to be irritable or to have tremors.

Thank you @Quartz2208 that's put my mind at ease a little

piriton is pretty safe.
cetirizine or loratadine would be fine as well.

hope you feel better soon

Thanks @redsummershoes

Currently taking piriton for Obstetric Cholestasis itching - as recommended by midwife and consultant at the hospital

Oh @RainRainGoAwayy I must be panicking over nothing then! Sorry to hear about the cholestasis hope everything goes smoothly

I was prescribed antihistamines when I was pregnant for awful hay fever.

Took it throughout my pregnancies no probs

I’ve been taking piriton most days.
I’m 17 weeks now

I also had it for icp in hospital :)
