What harm would allergy shots do to a fetus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None known.: Although some research has linked excessive histamine release to preterm labor, allergen desensitization injections under the care of a knowledgeable allergy/immunology specialist and in coordination with a maternal-fetal medicine doctor should be safe during pregnancy. I would, however recommend waiting until postpartum for such poorly studied intervention during pregnancy. Better safe than sorry.
