Did the prescribing doctor know you are pregnant?  They are usually pretty good about making sure what they prescribe for a woman is safe when pregnant.  It's pregnancy category B which means no danger they've found to human pregnancies.  They've tested it on mice and they have risks.  So, that's in their package insert to be careful with it.  I would call your doctor about it if you are concerned!
