I've been taking allergy medicine like pretty much my whole life. I got pregnant in the fall. I was sniffly, sneezy, congested but not too bad. Then winter came and I felt pretty good. I'd still have trouble around cats or particularly dusty places, but since these were rare, in general I felt good. I thought maybe my allergies had gone away like they sometimes do for lucky pregnant women. My mom lost all of her allergies when pregnant with me and they never came back.
But then spring arrived. And bam, I am sick. I am so congested I have trouble sleeping, my throat is constantly sore, I'm tired and light headed, I'm coughing, I have a head ache. Is this what I'd have been like for years if I hadn't been taking my medicine? I think it's my allergies. Everyone is complaining about allergies. But maybe it's a cold. Who knows? How would I know and what would I do differently anyway?
The good news - it was just pointed out to me that the ticker has reached the single digits.

I took my allergy meds through my pregnancy...I just couldn't hack it. I tried without for a couple of weeks at the beginning and it just wasn't happening. My OB said it was okay. I took Zyrt*c and
S!ngla!r. And I still take them now while breastfeeding.
Hooray for single digits. Get plenty of rest....you're gonna need it.
Do you have a Nettie Pot... they are fantastic. I can;t believe only 9 days left... wow! :-)
