I take zyrtec everyday for chronic hives. i am pregnant now, can i still take it? thanks

Yes: Yes, zyrtec (cetirizine) and claritin (loratadine) are safe in pregnancy. You might notice that the hives get worse, or even get better, during pregnancy. If they improve, it might be worth trying to only take zyrtec as needed.
