allergies

[mskrystale]

Anyone else have their allergies act crazier than usual while pregnant? I'm about 4/5 weeks and I'm sneezing a lot, my nose is stuffy & runny,I'm coughing and I just feel blah! I was taking Zyrtec and Nasonex spray, but recently stopped when I discovered I was preggo. I just got benadryl, gunna give it a shot tonight. Would rather take something that won't make me drowsy though.

I'm going to try ahumidifierI  and Vaseline inside my nostrils. read that can ease morning allergies. Also wash bedding more frequently. I've been changing my pillow case every day just because my skin has gotten so oily.

Sorry to hear about that :( i have been sneezing a lot too (im in week 20) so i thought maybe i should try using a humidifier. Also i started applying a tiny amout of peppermint oil under my nose to clear up the stuffiness. So far it has worked. Maybe you could try these remedies too :) Feel better soon!

Oh dear...how far along are you?  Hope you can find some relief. The benadryl worked only slightly.. And strangely I don't feel drowsy. I only took 1 pill rather than 2 though.

Mine has gotten much worse. My nasal passages are so irritated and my eyes are so itchy it makes me crazy. I haven't found relief.
