My allergies are really bad too.  My doctor told me it was ok to take my off brand zyrtec that I got from Costco.  He said that I should go back to my allergy doctor and have him prescribed me a nasal spray that is safe to take while pregnant.  So there are choices out there!

My allergies were TERRIBLE when I was pregnant, I didn't like taking Benedryl because I don't like the drowsy/tired feeling but you can take Claritin and also I took plain Sudafed. But definitely consult your doctor.

The only allergy meds safe for baby is claritin all others can harm the baby. I had to live through mine cuz I was afraid even claritin would hurt my baby

Benadryl is considered safe in pregnancy. You should ask your doctor or pharmacist if your medication is considered safe. Hope you get to feeling better
