According to this website, they say yes
you can take it. Although I would call
your doctor just to make sure.

medicine during pregnancy
when you're pregnant, you make certain
vital adjustments to your lifestyle. You
give up cocktails and you stop smoking.
Perhaps you cut down on your
two-latte-a-day habit. But medications
are more of a gray area. Your
obstetrician's office may give you a
handout like the chart below that lists
over-the-counter medicines considered safe
for pregnant women to take for the
occasional stuffy nose or headache. While
these drugstore remedies can provide
welcome relief, always check with your
doctor or midwife before taking any kind
of medicine. If you have a question about
prescription drugs, talk to your doctor or
midwife about what's safe. (some
prescription medicines, such as prozac may
be safe to take; others, such as accutane,
are known to cause birth defects.)
