Allergies during Pregnancy


Allergies sometimes worsen during pregnancy. Some allergy medications should not be taken during pregnancy; it is best to consult with your doctor. Many of these allergy medications are a combination of several medicines, some of which not safe for pregnant women. This advice also applies to nasal sprays. When it comes to medications, you would want to seek your doctor's advice. To help deal with allergies, try to avoid anything that triggers them. For example if dust bothers, you keep your windows shut and avoid outside activities or areas that are dust prone. Use a humidifier if you find the weather rather dry. Drink lots of fluids. For some women, their allergies improve during their pregnancies; certain things that used to be a bother before pregnancy are no longer a problem.
