Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have gone through your query and understand your health concerns.
During the first trimester of pregnancy, to control the symptoms of allergy due to poison oak, you can have a single shot of steroid. It is safe as a single dose in case other oral medications are not helping.
I hope this answers your query.
