Medications Safe During Pregnancy

I am 31 weeks pregnant and have been suffering for 2 weeks! I am tired of having mucus in my throat, a dry cough, a sore throat, headache and stuffy nose. My Dr told me to try allergy meds to see if it was allergies. I tried Alavert and Claritin but didn't touch it. I also tried Tylenol Cold Multi Symptom and it didn't help.

Claritin During Pregnancy

I was taking Claritin every day when I found out I was about 6 weeks pregnant. I went to the OBGYN, and he said I can continue taking it and I have done so through the majority of my first trimester. When I do research on taking Claritin during pregnancy, my understanding is that it is considered "safe", in that they have no evidence that it causes birth defects. Am I OK to continue taking it? I want other opinions from moms in addition to my doctor's. Not taking some allergy med is not an option, as I can barely breathe or function...
