Question by Irene Roper: A natural remedy for allergies due to pregnancy?
Hi! So I am ten weeks pregnant and unfortunately have the world’s worst allergies this spring. Since I am pregnant, I will not take anything medicine wise to help me even if it is “ok” because I love my child and don’t want to expose it to chemicals if at all possible. So does anyone have any advice that will help me feel back on my feet a little bit? If it helps my most bothersome symptoms are a runny nose and sneezing and a dry irritating cough. Thank you all so much for your advice!

All I can think of is avoiding the allergens as much as possible.
Keep indoor triggers to a minimum, try and avoid going outdoors in the early morning hours to prevent unnecessary exposure to pollen, which is usually worst during this time. Avoid spreading pollen through your home by washing off as soon as you come in from outside. Or at the very least, bathe before going to sleep to keep pollen out of your bed.
Short of wearing a mask, glasses if your eyes are affected and having nice comforting drinks, sucking honey and lemon candy I am stuck!
In such situations I always keep saying to myself ‘it will pass’!
