  My MW suggested a netti pot and said Claritin is also ok.

  Using plain OTC basic Claritin.  My OB said avoid the Claritin D.

  I had too many headcolds this winter to mess around with allergies this late in the game.  I'm soooo thankful to have started taking it last week!

  Both Claritin and Zyrtec were OK according to my OBs office, but unfortunately, I can't take either.  I've actually been taking Allegra this whole pregnancy, but it is a class C drug unfortunately.  If my allergies aren't controlled, I end up with bad ashtma (and was hospitalized with that for almost a week with my first pregnancy) so they have allowed the Allegra since second trimester for me.

  Hopefully one of the first two options work for you....but I second that you can't take the "D" type... Claritin D or Allegra D.

  My Dr told me it was okay to take Zyrtec.  I buy the generic kind at Sam's- it is much cheaper!

  If you haven't tried a netti pot it's worth a try. Done wonders for me. It takes a bit to get used to but once you do it helps.

  I have been taking Benadryl my allergies have been really bad and causing a sore itchy throat for the last few days.  My sleep has been non existent the last few days even with the Benadryl.  I really hope that this little girl makes her appearance soon I don't know how much more I can take!!!

  I'm taking Zyrtec everyday, and my OB gave me the OK to do so. It works very well for me!

  I need to start taking my Claritin again. I've had the wonderful "chain reaction" where allergies are affecting my sinuses, which in turn is putting pressure on nerves in my jaw/teeth causing them to have painful spasms that come and go for hours.

  Lesson for others: If you have allergies, take your allergy medicine!

  I am taking Claritin and it seems to be helping so far. This is the first warm weekend we've had in a long while and I am doing alright. Good luck to you!
