Yes: Your baby is safe - having allergy symptoms during pregnancy poses no risk to the fetus. However, there is some evidence to suggest that significant allergy symptoms during pregnancy can increase the chances of your baby developing allergies. Working with an allergist to reduce your exposure to relevant allergens and using pregnancy-safe medications to minimize symptoms is a good idea.
