Struggling with hayfever

Is anyone else struggling with hayfever? Mine is absolutely awful at the moment, eyes are swelling and watering, sneezing 20 times in a row and if my nose isn’t running it’s blocked. Went through the GP to get some tablets because a pharmacist told me they wouldn’t let a pregnant person buy any over the counter. Long story short, despite being clear I’m 10 weeks pregnant, the tablets the gp has prescribed say ‘do not use if you are pregnant’ 🫠 he’s also prescribed some eyedrops which I think are fine if they are prescribed by a gp (the leaflet doesn’t say to explicitly not use them) but I kind of don’t trust that they’re okay.
Does anyone use any tablets and know they are safe during pregnancy?

Hey Amy I’m also getting hit quite badly, anything that is ‘not suitable if pregnant’ usually means they just haven’t got the data to clear it, who in their right mind would nominate themselves for testing while pregnant right? From my research I am using Loratadine when absolutely necessary. As with anything just make the decision based on if it’s worth it or not. Happy summer 🤧

Hi, I have taken Cetirizine Hydrochloride for hayfever & allergies every day for about 6 years and I’m currently 8 weeks pregnant. Doctor told me last week it’s generally safe it’s just that there hasn’t been many studies done x

Group chat?

I’m postín incógnito only because I’m sure there will be someone will be upset of me saying this for some reason.
I need a SMALL like no more than 10 people group chat of women who understand there might be a day or so I don’t respond because life gets busy sometimes. I’ve been kicked out of three groups just for not responding the required 5 messages a day.. and when you continue to add new people everyday how are we supposed to get to know each other personally when there’s 20+ people and people are going in and out … I’m desperate to make an actual friend group that understands at this point..

Bumble bff

Anyone made friends from bumble bff? I am considering using it. This app is lovely for support in app but can't seem to make any real consistent friends that want to actually hang out in real life here.

Anxiety

I am really struggling with my anxiety lately, even just thinking about leaving the house sends me into a panic attack.
I'm on medication and I do some coping techniques but some days that isn't enough.
I don't know what else to do.

I’d love to genuinely know if there are other mums out there wanting this like I do?

I’m a mama of three on the Gold Coast who, in all honesty, has spent years searching for a real community of mothers. Women who are devoted to their kids AND to themselves. Mothers who are in the thick of it but still crave the things that light them up as a woman, alongside other mums who genuinely get it.

I’m creating a new community on the Gold Coast centred around regular, curated experiences for like-minded mothers. Think a Saturday morning Pilates class followed by coffee, an afternoon pottery and wine workshop or a meet and soak session at a local bathhouse. Experiences that are social, nourishing and exclusively for members.

Would you go to something like this?
