Panicking! - I’ve taken Cetirizine Hydrochloride for 1 week!

[Newmumtobe2025]

Hi 👋🏽 I’m new here, my first pregnancy. I’m 34 and I am now very worried. I took piriteze for the last 6 days. I then purchased the Morrisons version. Both have exact same ingredients. However after starting new box and taking one th is morning noticed it says “do not take if Pregnant or Breastfeeding”
I am 10 weeks 2 days, I am now worried and will be calling the midwife line to ask; but wanted to see if anyone knows of, has an experience with this. Thank you x

@ProjectKettle thank you definitely checking “Bumps” out! x

An obstetrician told me to take piriton when I was pregnant and couldn't sleep at night for coughing. I was shocked but he said "there is no need for you to suffer".

Certerizne and loratidine are the safe ones to take
ul be fine

I've also taken cetirizine throughout for allergies. Advised by my GP that both cetirizine and loratadine are fine. Also asked the midwife in the fetal medicine unit for her view, and she reminded me they give tiny babies antihistamines on neonatal units and not to worry.
