5 Weeks Pregnant...is Benadryl OK for Allerigies?

5 Weeks Pregnant...is Benadryl OK for Allerigies?

I have taken Zyrtec-D for several months for my allergies.  Once I found out I was pregnant (Monday) my Dr. told me to stop taking it.  Now, I am really congested and my skin is very dry and itchy.  I called my Dr. and she told me to take one Benadryl tonight,  She said I should take it to prevent the risk of the congestion turning into an infection.  I am so scared to take it though.  Has anyone else taken Benadryl in early pregnancy?
