I have been pregnant 3 times with three different doctors, and they have all told me the same thing. I think it has to do with the fact that antihistamines dry out the fluids in your body, and this could cause your amniotic fluid to decrease. All the pregnancy books say this as well.

There are very few abstracts on Medline dealing with the use of diphenhydramine in pregnancy, thus the category B assignment. There just isn't enough data to be sure.
