poison oak and lidex

I am 23 weeks and have a severe case of poison oak. It is all over my belly and under my breast as well as my hands and legs I used a topical cream called Lidex before I asked my dr. about it unfortunately.

She said not to use it since it contains steroids and is easily absorbed into the bloodstream. I applied it around 3 times. Have I harmed my fetus? And is there anything else I can do to alleviate the itching besides Caladryl and Oatmeal baths? I am miserable.

Thanks, Wendy
