Does Taking Benadryl During Pregnancy Affect The Baby?
Hi I'm 38 weeks pregnant and have a really bad cold. I was told by my doctor that I could take 1 to 2 benadryl every 6 hours. I was just wondering if it affects the baby at all. For example lowers the heart rate, puts them to sleep like it does us or anything like that? I just don't want it to hurt the baby on any way.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Benadryl syrup does not affect the baby. Baby at this stage will not get affected.
