Yes my doctor prescribed fioricet AND benadryl for migraines during pregnancy. But the benadryl was more for the nausea part of the headache. It is safe. They wouldn't prescribe it if the risks outweigh the benefits.

Benadryl puts baby to sleep.  I wouldn't risk it.

My delivery hospital told me to take benadryl for my headaches since I try and sleep them off ? I get them constantly to the point I want to rip my hair out.

I was cleared to take Benedryl for this cold I have. I take Tylenol only if I have a headache.

Not for the headaches but I was told to take it due to having a terrible sinus. For my constant headache I take Tylenol. I didn't really like taking Benadryl since it puts the baby to sleep.
