My allergy ne suddenly bohot badha diya hai, sneezing non stop. I have cetirizine at home that I used to take before but ab pregnancy me thoda dar lag raha hai. Will ask my gynac before taking anything, just wanted to know if anyone here took it na?
Ugh, dealing with allergy sneezes on top of severe morning sickness was my worst nightmare. I know how desperately you want relief. But honestly, please check with your doctor first. For me, steam inhalation helped thoda till I got my prescription.
Actually my hospital had a dedicated 24/7 helpline for such queries. When I had bad allergy, I called the duty doctor at the hospital and they clearly told me which category medicines are safe. Pls drop a WhatsApp to your doctor's team before taking it.
Look, I've had two kids and seasonal allergies both times. Never take any OTC medicine like cetirizine without your gynac's green light. Sometimes they suggest steam or change the brand to something safer. Just call your clinic and ask.
Oh god, I totally get how stressful it is when u get cold during pregnancy and can't even take normal meds. Honestly, I used to panic even before drinking hot water. Pls consult your gynac once before taking cetirizine, don't take stress.
Ghar pe mom and saas completely banned all English medicines during my pregnancy. When I asked my gynac, she said certain antihistamines are fine but only if prescribed. Better to ask your doctor instead of taking it directly, and try some ginger tea for temporary relief.
Arey even I have severe allergy but I'm too scared to take anything. Did your doctor suggest cetirizine to you? Let me know pls, my nose is completely blocked.
With thyroid issues, I was anyway visiting my doctor every month for blood tests. During one visit I asked about allergy meds and she explicitly told me what's safe. Better to wait for your next follow-up or call them up now, don't take cetirizine randomly.
Hehe I remember wanting to pop any pill to stop my sneezing while taking care of everything. But seriously, don't take cetirizine on your own. Call your gynac, they have a pre-approved list of safe meds. Now let me try to catch 10 mins of sleep.
Third trimester is already giving me sleepless nights, and now this seasonal allergy. Honestly, I asked my doc about cetirizine and she gave me another safe option. Don't self-medicate yaar, already humara body humara nahi raha!
I totally understand how uncomfortable it is to deal with allergies while carrying your precious little one. It's so hard when you can't even take normal meds. Please, dear, just give a quick call to your gynac before taking cetirizine, just to be absolutely safe for the baby.
