Allergy Meds While Pregnant

I was hoping someone might know of an allergy medicine that is safe to use during pregnancy. I get chronic sinus infections from my allergies. Last time I was pregnant I was on antibiotics almost every other week. I'm really dreading going through that again - I have a 2 year old to keep up with! I had been taking the generic form of Nasonex and doing fine, but the pharmacist told me it's not safe during pregnancy because it has steroids in it. Any ideas? Thank you!

Infant and Benadryl

My 8 month old son weighs 16 pounds, 12 ounces and his doctor prescribed 1/2 teaspoon of Benadryl before bedtime. Everything I read says not to do it unless they are a year old. I'm afraid to give him the Benadryl. Has anyone given their child who is under a year old Benadryl?
