See the GP. You can't take most over the counter stuff, but mine prescribed Otrivine nasal spray on the grounds that less of the antihistamine gets into the bloodstream. I found it worked OK and I get dreadful hayfever (was on terfenadine until they banned it Shock)

I was too scared to take any antihistimine at all - so just suffered through it - you could try acupuncture?

I was told by my GP that Piriton is ok to use during pregnancy.
I used it when pregnant with Dd1+2.
