Welcome - you're doing the right thing by inquiring about pregnancy and percocet.
May I offer some advice? PLEASE see your doctors - both the 1 prescribing the percocet AND your OB/GYN to get on a tapering regime to get off percocet.  Tell them your history - your concerns - and your recovery.  This is not something 'new' to them - they have seen it before (I work in healthcare - I see it all the time).  Be honest and up front.  Continue to post with your concerns - there is a WEALTH of expertise on this forum...

Good for you - I'm glad you will be seeing both doctors for their help.  However, keep posting and ping the forum for both answers and support.  We all have experiences to share - all priceless.  Even yours.

Zurich is offering the correct advice. Especially with pregnancy. Tapering is best. Take especially good care of yourself. Congratulations on your baby!
