I will ask my doc, but figured I'd ask around what others have done.

I'm surely not the only pregnant woman with allergies.


It was the happiest day in my pregnancy when my doctor told me I could
still take my OTC allergy medicine - it's literally the only thing that
helps, including any and all prescription medicines. (People without
allergies just don't get it, do they?) I got permission to take
Benedryl, Chlor-Trimeton, and Actifed. I usually only take a half a
day, since I've been much more rigorous about non-medicine preventions
like lots of fresh air and frequent vacuuming and dusting, but I really
couldn't make it without them. Definitely do talk to doc.

This cough, though, how BIG is it? Is it a productive cough, a throat
tickle, or just kind of like a twitch you just can't get rid of? If
it's the latter, with no other symptoms, you might have asthma. I'm
also on 2 different asthma meds, and when I don't take them, sleeping is
out of the question, and the irritating, persistent cough comes right
back.
