Can Allergic Rhinitis Impact Foetus?

Hi
I've had seasonal allergic rhinitis only during August for 13 years. This year I'm planning to start trying to conceive in mid July. Will the baby be affected by my allergy? I can avoid taking medication if necessary as the allergy is not extremely severe and only affects me on some days. Would it be better to postpone trying to conceive until after the allergy season?

many thanks,
Anca

Hello, in case you are taking steroid for pregnancy then stop taking it before trying for conception or you can wait till allergy season is there.
It can get transferred to your baby via genes.
