Firstly talk to your pharmacist they know more about drug safety during pregnancy and lactation than most doctors. Here are a few drugs I pulled of a list for breastfeeding moms that also lists pregnancy category. I will list more later if I get a chance.
Pregnancy Category B:
Claratin (Loratadine)
Pregnancy Category C:
Actidil, Actifed (Triprolidine)
Allegra (Fexofenadine)
FDA Pregnancy Risk Categories
A (controlled studies show no risk)
B (no evidence of risk in humans)
C (risk cannot be ruled out)
D (positive evidence of risk)
X (contraindicated in pregnancy)

Find some honey that is local to the area you are in. In Dallas/ft. Worth it's bear with a neon orange sticker that says "North Texas Honey" for Houston I'd recommend Stroopers, most commonly found in the produce section.
Take a couple of spoons of that plain if you can or in tea if you can't. It introduces the normal pollens into your body and you won't have as bad of a reaction to the airborne ones.

Talking to a pharmacist is free; that should give you lots of information.

Check with a pharmacist. I don't think you can take antihistamines while you are pregnant.
