Any one else having allergies during pregnancy?

I have a bronchial cough that shows up throughout the day when it wants. I am constantly sneezing and I feel it deep into my chest. Runny nose and stuffy nose mixed with blood from I guess my nose being dry.
Am I the only one?

I have horrible seasonal allergies (this is not new or from pregnancy). I take Claritin daily and it works very well. Claritin, Zyrtec, and Benadryl are fine to take during pregnancy, just not the D versions.

This. I have horrible allergies, all year long, pregnant or not. I take a Zyrtec daily to control them. If I don't take Zyrtec, I'll get hayfever and will not be able to function.

Allergies can get worse during pregnancy. Are you taking anything? Also, if the dog is the culpret, have you tried the Defurminator brush? My dog sheds like crazy, and I just used that brush for the first time in over a year, and holy cow, it made a huge difference with the shedding. I'm not sure if it will help with the pet dander, which is what people are usually allergic to.

I have seasonal also and then I am allergic to my dog but I have been leaving him outside to avoid the shedding. These allergies are all new though, and I hve had them since month 2 and now I'm 5 months

My rhinitis has evolved into a whole new level since being PG this time. I asked my doc abt it and she said it is also bec of the weather

My allergies have been SO awful this summer! I cannot wait for fall and the first freeze to get here. I wake up in the middle of the night sneezing like crazy and not much has helped. Just counting down the days until cooler weather.
