benadryl ok?

Anyone know if benadryl is safe to take? My allergies are crazy right now and the zyrtec alone isn't enough. Normally I would take a benadryl to help but I never asked if that was ok during pregnancy.

I would ask another doctor. Claratin does nothing for me and I have allergy induced asthma so I can't mess around with my allergies. Good luck
