“Are antihistamines safe to be consumed during pregnancy?”
I have a seasonal allergy during winters where I get little hives when I'm exposed to cold weather, and I normally take antihistamines for this. But can I take them when I'm pregnant?

Yes, both short acting (Benadryl) and the long acting antihistamines (ex. Claritin, Zyrtec, etc) are considered safe during pregnancy and carry pregnancy cat. B rating. So you can safely continue to use them to keep your symptoms under control.
