Allergies during pregnancy??! Are you experiencing the same thing?

I normally already have allergies (cat hair, dog hair, dust, mold...). Now that I'm pregnant, it seems like they have taken a toll! The sneezing, the congestion, ahh! Are you pregnant women out there experiencing anything similar??
What are you doing to combat it, if anything?
:) Btw -- congrats!

That's normal. Pregnancy causes your body's immune system to lessen somewhat, so that it won't reject the embryo. Since allergies and asthma are a result of your immune system going haywire, a lot of women (including me) found that their allergy symptoms are seriously improved during their pregnancies.

But sometimes it goes the other way. Ask your doctor about Claritin if you are really miserable.,

My sinuses were constantly clogged! I went to the pharmacist and they gave me saline nasal spray - it was one that you can use in pregnancy.

I also got really bad eczema on my legs.

Hormones can be NASTY! hehehe

Benedryl is pregnancy friendly and will help combat those allergies!
