A member asked:
Would benadryl (diphenhydramine) have any effect on the baby during early pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: it is pregnancy category B drug, which means: animal studies failed to show any harm to fetuses, but no controlled human studies, usually it safe to use, but don't exceed recommended dosage, and use it for the least time needed, goodluck
