Heres some of the topics found via internet regarding the use of pepcid, speak with your dr. I have found the alternative to not taking pepcid is not an alternative for me. Im sort of eating now, Im able to get up each morning and take my son 'out of the house' and have gained 5 lbs!!
Hope this helps:

Categories of medications based on safety and risk
Most medications, though, have not been studied or shown to be safe to this extent. For these, we are left with this guideline: Medications that are considered safe in pregnancy are those that have been used extensively in humans and don't appear to cause any major birth defects or other problems (they also have been shown not to cause birth defects in animals). The FDA classifies these drugs as Category B. Treatment with Category B medications is considered "probably safe." This group includes ampicillin, acetaminophen (Tylenol is a common brand), ibuprofen (such as Motrin) before third trimester, aspartame, caffeine in moderation, hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), metoclopramide (Reglan),
famotidine (Pepcid), loperamide (Imodium), and insulin.
Sending feel good vibes.
