I'm 38 weeks and the GP has prescribed chlorphenamine to help reduce sleep-preventing levels of itching. However she didn't mention that taking it late in pregnancy can lead to the baby showing withdrawal when born (see BUMPS link below). Has anyone taken it in the latter stages of pregnancy and the baby required extra monitoring? I'm seeing my midwife tomorrow so will double check with her as well,
Thanks
