Is Atarax Tablet Safe During Pregnancy?

My doctor prescribed me half a pill of 20mg fluoxone and 1 pill of 10mg Atarax. I have started my 5th month of pregnancy and have been taking these meds for 4 days now for anxiety and depression. I have read over the internet that fluoxone is safe but atarax is not even though my gyn confirmed it is safe. I m very worried. Please advise
