zyrtec during 3rd trimester?

Hi!  I usually post on the maternal and child forum but just found this one!  I'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!

Zrytec is a "Pregnancy Category B,"  which is the same as Tylenol.  Your doctor approved it, get some relief and take it!

The risks in the 3rd trimester for a medication (which is assumed safe in pregnancy) to harm the baby is SO minimal!!! Stop your suffering and take it!
