Most are safe: Benedryl, Claritin (loratadine) and zyrtec all are considered class b drugs that are safe to take in pregnancy - especially after 14 weeks. But please check with your obstetrician for specific advice for this pregnancy.

OB in charge, but: Whoever managing your pregnancy should be aware of all medications, as interactions are important. That said, FDA labels medications for safety in pregnancy. Look for B or higher rating (Zyrtec, Claritin, (loratadine) others). Sometimes C is ok, obviously avoid D or X. But if high risk pregnancy, stick to just saline nose spray, and especially careful first trimester. Some cautious women just deal: no meds.
