Allergies equals a heartbeat

I have had the worse allergies since my pregnancy started. I missed out on the smell sensitivity all the books talk about.. instead I lost my sense of smell for the first 10 weeks. It's my second trimester and I finally have my allergies under control.. but not without medication. Which scares the hell out of me even though everything I have taken is listed in the B category, doctor and pharmacist approved. So to settle my nerves but still remain comfortable and breathing I take as little as possible.

Seems I was the odd bird with this allergies being at their worst with pregnancy until my aunt told me she had the same problem. Amazing how knowing someone else suffered something that according to the books I wasn't supposed to makes me feel better.

I hope this kid comes with an great immune system against allergies and my medication isn't ruining that chance!

The only good thing about the allergies is that it forced me to see the doctor sooner than my next ob appointment and during that appointment the doctor had us listen to the baby's heartbeat! My first time hearing it since we couldn't hear it at 10 weeks. Once again, tears and a big grin on my face, as the doctor and the nurse smiled back and said, "Oh what a great strong heart that is!" Officially my second proud-mother-moment (boxing being the first).
