My wife and I had a printed copy. That should help out a lot in the next 3 months.
Chlorpheniramine, an antihistamine (Chlor-Trimeton allergy tablets)
Loratadine, an antihistamine (Alavert, Claritin, Tavist ND, Triaminic Allerchews)
Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine (Banophen, Benadryl, Diphenhist, Genahist)

Your Pharmasist might be able to help you determine a safe allergy medication. Also, usually even though the Doctor's offce is closed, there is usually a Doctor on call. Try calling your Doctors office, the message typically says how to reach t he Doc on call,and they can help you alot. I was able to take something while pregnant, but I can't remember what it was.
Good luck, but in the mean time, over the counter eye drops will help with yoru dry eyes.
Good luck

I just read an article the other day talking about this. It is common during pregnancy especially at this stage. The article recommended any OTC eye drop for dry itchy eyes. Google it so you can read for yourself if you like.

murine drops for eyes, the ones for allergy and itch. The funny thing is, my eyes never itched when I was pregnant, but my skin did. It itched so bad that I would bleed. Pregnancy effects many people in many ways, don't be suprised that your eyes itch. If I were you, I would bring it up at your next doctors visit. Have a happy pregnancy!

They say it's safe to take a benadryl every once in a while.So if you take one and everything clears up just try your hardest not to rub your eyes at all.Try to keep from even irratating them at all.Yes,I would also try the cool wash rag also!

Hey congrats just wait til the Doc's office opens up. In the mean time use your own saliva or water to ease the itch.Remember this to shall pass. And rejoice in the birth of your baby. Do not take any med unless your doc says so ok please !!!!

wash your hands all the time, and make a very cold compress with a washcloth and sodium free seltzer water to rub and clean your eyes.
