Medicine question

[Mrs_yensen]

Hello everyone! I have a strong suspicion that I am pregnant. It hasn't been confirmed, but I am about five days late,  and my cycles are extremely regular, and the last time I was late was when I found out I was pregnant with my almost five year old.

My question is, is it okay to take Benadryl during pregnancy? I take a small dose every night in order to fight off hives (I get them every night that I don't take the Benadryl?) I've dealt with the hives for about two years now, and after numerous tests, changes in diet, soaps etc., Benadryl is the only thing that works.

I'm definitely planning on speaking to my OB, but can't until pregnancy has been confirmed. I'm just looking for answers in the meantime, and want to do what's best for baby if I am pregnant.

Benadryl is generally considered safe by most doctors. It's a catagory B & Baby Center has it listed on the safe list.
