I understand your concern and I will do everything I can to answer your question.
I'm sorry you aren't feeling well - get better soon. Levocetrizine is safe in pregnancy. It is a FDA category B medication, which means that lots of women have taken it during pregnancy and there is no evidence that it is dangerous for mom or baby. It gets into the breast milk and antihistamines can make the newborn sleepy, so avoid it during breast feeding but it is safe to use during pregnancy.
I hope that helps and best of luck to you
