Anyone take Benadryl/Claritin while pregnant?

Oh my! If I took 2 whole Benadryl I might never wake up!!!!

I took Chlor-Trimetron occasionally in lieu of Benadryl (which made me positively loopy). I liked this because a dose only lasts 4 to 6 hours, while with Claritin, you're committed for 24 hours. Then again, you have to take another one a lot faster if you need it on a continuous basis. I also liked it better because it didn't make me as drowsy as Benadryl.

I've taken both Benadryl and Claritin with all of my pregnancies (I'm currently 5 months pregnant with #3), with the full support of my OB and my allergist. I've had zero problems and am grateful for how much they've helped with my dust mite allergies.
