zyrtec in first trimester

I got sick in my first trimester also. My Dr. told me tht I can take any meds in the first trimester AT ALL. She did recommend Sucrets which is a cough drop with little to no meds tht is safe for the baby in this stage. Other thN tht I really had to stick it out ....FEEL BETTER!!!!

I had been taking Zyrtec daily before I found out I was pregnant, she said Zyrtec is one of the only drugs safe in the first trimester. Benadryl is on the avoid in first trimester list.

I was prescribed zyrtec during the first trimester when I got a really bad head and chest cold. It helped dry my sinuses up. However if you are getting an INFECTION you will need antibiotics. You need to go to your Dr and see what truly is the problem. They will tell you what you can and can not take. Neti Pot is a great way to help clear your sinuses I used one the whole first and second trimester I had bad congestion.

Can I still take it being in my first trimester?

I was told to avoid bendryl in the first trimester

m in my third trimester and am dying from the ragweed and my doc. said zyrtec is completely safe to take. Anyone have any experience with this? I'm still nervous about taking it but I also can hardly breathe so I guess the benefits outweigh the risks since little guy does need oxygen. Let me know if you've taken it or if your doc has said anything about it! Thanks!

either animal-reproduction studies have not demonstrated a fetal risk but there are no controlled studies in pregnant women or animal-reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect (other than a decrease in fertility) that was not confirmed in controlled studies in women in the first trimester(and there is no evidence of a risk in later trimesters)". There are a few that get plain B's and the only A grade isn't available in the US.

I've been on Claritin/Zyrtec my whole pregnancy. I know Claritin is approved, I believe Zyrtec is fine too.

I was cleared to take zyrtec during my last pregnancy and with this one. Benadryl is ok after the first trimester.

Its normal. I got them with both my pregnancys and both starting in the 2nd trimester. They'd last for a few days tgen go away for a few days then come back again. Tylenol and a heating pad were my best friends, sometimes a relaxing hot shower helped too.

As long as your out of your first trimester you can take zertek Its the only thing that works for me:)

Np :) it's in my pamphlet from my first pregnancy and i live on allegra because of allergies so i understand :)

If you can take allergy shots and clear up the allergies well before getting pregnant, I certainly would do it. It will help you for the rest of your life. Zyrtec is expensive!! lol Talk to your ob-gyn to know of any safety windows regarding allergy shots and pregnancy, and especially find out if the meds you take for your allergies are dangerous to the embryo and fetus if you do get pregnant. Very important. Good luck!

Yes

Hi just want to know if there are any mom's suffering from allergies in there 3rd trimester? And if so what are you able to do for it?

Most of the medications you might take for allergies are generally safe during pregnancy, especially during the third trimester and you are close to that. Among these drugs are what are called “Non-sedating antihistamines” and inhaled nasal steroids. What you should do first, however before taking any meds, is to check with your obstetrician and get his/her recommendations. The other thing of course is complete avoidance of any environmental allergens, to the extent that that is possible.

I'm in my first trimester and trying to avoid medication unless absolutely necessary. I have allergies, though, and I'm constantly itchy. It keeps me up at night and is terribly distracting throughout the day. It's usually not localized either, just spots that itch and move as they please. Does anyone have any miracle advice?

I'm 14w and its gotten worse once I started second trimester. My doc prescribed me zofran. Can't eat a lot in one sitting, but its helping tons.

My OB said I can take Benedryl, Claritin or Zyrtec (I am allergic to Claritin and Zyrtec gives me headaches so am taking Benedryl). Allegedly, Chlor-trimeton is safe until the 3rd trimester (that is what I usually take) but I decided it is better safe and sleepy with Benedryl :) My nurses' drug book lists them all as Pregnancy Category B, the same as Tylenol.

Sinus colds are often caused by outdoor allergies, you can help prevent that by taking zyrtec and using a nasal spray, which are all safe after your first trimester

It depends on what trimester you are in and what your dr says. My dr would tell me not to take anything unless i was on my death bed lol. Try a humidifier in your bedroom. It should help with all your symptoms.

My doctor told me that I could take it, but I would check with your doc first to make sure.
