allergy meds?

at the beginning of my pregnancy my doctor gave me a list of medications that were safe to take during pregnancy. for allergies she had 2 different shots listed and an over the counter medicine. I myself suffer from seasonal allergies and so does my friend who is due the end of July. I had told her that we could take the over the counter meds and she told me that we couldn't because allergy meds dry up the amniotic fluid. is that true or is it safe to take the medicine.

Benadryl is classified as safe for baby. I took it to help me sleep with my last baby because I had the worst insomnia and my OB told me to take a Benadryl on the nights I had insomnia. I def didn't dry up and fluid
