Basically if your having 1 or 2 doses of sedating antihistamines like chlorpheniramine, the amount that passes is unlikey to make baby drowsy, its not for long term use.

The unsedating antihistamines like loratadine should be ok.

The general advice is take only if the symptoms are unbearable, depends how bad your hayfever is... if you can get away with nasal sprays etc than great.

thank you, I'll try a nasal spray as my nose seems to be the worst xx

If you are suffering tonight, do you have any bicarb (bicarbonate of soda) in the house? If so, mix half a teaspoon into half a glass of water and mix until all dissolved. Dip cotton wool into it - or pour some of the liquid on a cotton wool pad, and bathe your eyes to soothe them. If you make too much eyebath, it keeps in the fridge for a couple of days, and is nicer when it is cold too.
