I am in a third month of pregnancy and so far, there werent any problems, except that I am constantly nervous. My friend recommended me hydroxyzine, the drug she used when she was pregnant. She told me that her health status improved very fast after starting the therapy. Is Hydroxyzine safe during pregnancy? Perhaps I should not start with it without a consultation with my doctor.

You must know that it is forbidden to take meds during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester. In those three months, tissue and organs develop, so you should not take any drug. Some studies showed that hydroxyzine has a teratogen effect. I would suggest you not to take the med, or at least, speak to your doctor first. Congratulations for the pregnancy!
