I am pregnant and experiencing sneezing, scratchy throat, itchy eyes Help is this a Pregnancy symtom????

Hello Ladies I am around 5 weeks pregnant. I am experiencing sneezing, scratchy throat and watery itchy eyes. I am just wondering if any one else is experiencing this.  I do wear contacts so I dont know if this has anything to do with it or not. Any advice would help, on how to make me feel better Thanks

I don't think those are pregnancy symptoms.  Do you suffer from allergies?  It sounds like allergies or a cold.

I have never had a problem with allergies before.  My eyes are bothering me the most, so watery and itchy Do you know what can be given for these symtoms (symptoms)?

I was sick with a "head cold" around that time. Something about the swelling of your mucus somethings...LOL! I had sneezing, watery eyes, the works. My whole head was miserable.

Thanks for letting me know! I just took a benadryl cause I called my ob doctor they informed me it was okay for a short time only. Thanks

Pregnancy has aggravated my allergies, and my RE told me I could take Benadryl.

Thanks for all your comments.  I spoke to my ob doctor he said if it got real bad to take a benadryl so I did. Yesturday was the first relief I have had in 4 days.  I am starting to feel it again today but I am going to try to not take anything.  Any suggestions on what I can take instead of the benadryl?
