    Hi aliyah2128. Thanks for your comment – and please don't worry. From what we understand and from the expert advice we've been given, there's no evidence that cetrizine causes harm in pregnancy. But because there isn't enough research to prove that it's 100% safe in pregnancy (it's very difficult, ethically, to conduct this kind of research on pregnant women, as you can imagine), most doctors will take the cautious approach and advice avoiding cetrizine in pregnancy.
    We suggest you speak to your doctor about this. We're sure they'll have some great advice, tailored to your individual situation. Good luck with trying to conceive!
