Benadryl in first trimester?

r*c*b*b*w*

Hi I'm a newbie here - I just got my BFP a week ago.  I have an awful head cold and am thinking of taking some Benadryl tonight to help me sleep.

 What do you think?  Smart or dumb?

I posted almost this exact post last week... except I had JUST gotten my BFP.  And I was given the response that Benadryl is on the OKAY list... just don't use a ton of it all the time.  I took it two or three nights to help me sleep (there was so much snot running down the back of my throat that I was staying awake).  I'd have stayed much more sick if I hadn't slept well.

Here's a good site to check if drugs are ok:

I'm pretty sure Benadryl is category B. A dr. at a walk-in clinic told me it's better than some of the newer allergy meds b/c it's been around longer, so they are more sure that it's safe. 

Hope you feel better!
