A few years ago I started experiencing itchy skin in various places of my body. I saw an allergist who did a scratch test of over 100 allergens and I came up negative for all of them. He recommended that I get on a daily otc allergy pill. Although I didn't like this advice, I've been taking it when necessary. Well, now I'm pregnant and there isn't conclusive evidence about whether these otc allergy pills are safe for the baby. What can I do? I'm itchy and miserable.

SAFE, per babycenter.com and many other sites:
Allergy relief:
Chlorpheniramine, an antihistamine (Chlor-Trimeton allergy tablets)
Loratadine, an antihistamine (Alavert, Claritin, Tavist ND, Triaminic Allerchews)
Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine (Banophen, Benadryl, Diphenhist, Genahist)
