antihistamine help?

I have allergies,  dust,  hay fever, cat hair ect.... not life or death type allergies,  but sneezing,  itchy nose and eyes,  headaches. I take a one a day antihistamine to deal with it. .. but it says on the box not to take if pregnant. Im only 7 weeks,  and have stopped taking them... but my allergies are horrible at the moment.   All the sneezing is not helping with my morning sickness. During my last pregancey my symptoms actually went away but not this time... my question is can i take my antihistamine?  Is the box over corsous or will they harm my baby?

Can I ask what the tablet name is. .. not the brand,  I tend to buy non branded as they are cheaper.  I used to have them prescribed, but the prescription cost on the nhs was higher then buying them over the counter. .. I normally have zertec or cetrizeane (I think one of them is the same as pyrtine) ... my first appointment isn't for over a week yet,  but.this is on my long list of questions to ask when I get there.  Thank you for your help!

Its safe to take claritin or Allegra. I personally take a claritin everyday. I have seasonal allergies and pet dander makes my eyes and face really itchy. My Dr OKed it and said its totally safe. Hope this helps. :)
