    If I'm having a bad hayfever day, I sneeze and snuffle and itch through work then take a polaramine at night to help make sure I get a good night's sleep.

    I think you should definitely go back! This woman needs to know she's giving wrong advice and putting mothers and babies at risk. Hopefully it was just a case of baby brain - I know mine is complete mush at the moment!

    Good on you for going back. Perhaps she will be more careful next time she gives drugs to pregnant women

    Good on you for going back

    I am currently studying nursing & i was curious about it so i looked up livostin & it said this "There are no adequate data on the use of Livostin nasal spray in pregnant women; therefore, Livostin nasal spray should not be used during pregnancy."

    Then it goes on to say if you take it orally you need more then 40 mg/kg/day for it too be too harmful. So i wouldnt stress about it as you didnt use much of it
