Answer #1

Hi,

According to a website I found:

The commonest antihistamines seem to be safe. The old sedative ones in common use were investigated in great detail, and turned out to be safe. The newer antihistamines, which don’t make you sleepy, could not be investigated this way because women and doctors now avoid using drugs during pregnancy. But in practice it happens often that women take medicines without knowing that they are pregnant.

HOWEVER, you should call your doctor ASAP and double check with him before taking ANY medication while pregnant.

Answer #2

Benadryl my doctor told me that benadryl is perfectly fine to use
