allergies and cold

Im 10weeks and I've always had allergies throughout the year. Sneezing and runny nose, but since being pregnant I feel like ive just been sneezing,  coughing and having a runny nose all the time. I know colds are common but it makes my sickness worse and I feel so run down and worry about my baby. Is anyone else like this?
