most of the allergy medication is safe
i had to take alot of it with DS cause i was SOOO itchy!
you can take panadol and panadiene too
but not nurefen or anything like that
i suffered from very bad headaches with DS and the r said you can even take panadeine forte but i didnt want to go that far!It's a woman's choice what she does with her own body, but when she is entrusted with the care of another life, whether in her womb or as a newborn, she has an added responsibility.
The importance of this should be far greater than her own needs.

Zyrtec is safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, too.
Hope you feel better soon

Thanks people.
Ive noticed since i found out i was pregnant that i seem to be coming up in itchy welts and also waking up every morning with a blocked or stuffy nose and sneezing my head off all day. I dont usually have allergies.DH (25) + ME (26) = Our beautiful Angel S.E.K7/11/08

I'm pretty sure you can only take paracetomol (panadol)
Yucky.Give us that grand word "woman" once again, and let's have done with "lady"; one's a term full of fine force, strong, beautiful, and firm, fit for the noblest use of tongue or pen; and one's a word for lackeys. - Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Only Panadol. The others are not safe. This is one of the many things I hated being pregnant, that you can't take anything for pain.

I have taken panadine ( paracetamol) for my headaches
can get panadine (8 -10mg)
and panadine15 (15mg)
have to go to a gp for panadine forte...
I have checked with 3 pharmacists.... 2 said it was a class A drug ( safe in pregnancy ) and the 3rd one refused to sell it to me as I had just fallen pregnant....
check with your pharmacist.... dont take my word for it though.... better to be safe than sorry....
headaches suck especially when they last for days....Last edited by littleleos; 01-04-2008 at 15:53.
