Nasonex While Pregnant?

I just recently found out that I'm pregnant with #3. I'm excited and happy but I've been taking Nasonex because I thought it was safe. Today I googled it and found out it's a Category C and that the same steroid has been known to cause birth defects in animals. I'm completely freaked out. I'm wondering if anyone here has ever taken Nasonex while pregnant, and if it turned out okay? Thanks

Flonase or Nasonex and Breastfeeding....

My seasonal allergies have flared up just recently. I'm unsure if I can use Flonase or Nasonex. My doctor said I could use it while I was pregnant. Now that I'm breastfeeding, I'm not sure if it's okay to use. While I've heard that some medicines can cause your milk to dry up, I've heard that nasal sprays are okay for the most part. I don't want to stop breastfeeding to be able to take medicines. I'd rather suffer with the allergies! I'm just wondering if anyone has used these nasal sprays while breastfeeding.
