There have been some non-controlled animal studies that say it's okay to use, but there haven't been any controlled studies in humans. And in the drug counter-indications says that if you need it while pregnant you should use it - most likely because if you can't breathe your baby isn't getting enough oxygen which would likely be worse than using the drug.

So my advice, is to use it if you need it. If you're still concerned talk to your doctor or pharmacist and they might be able to find you a drug that's been studied better in pregnant women.

What you need to do is discuss this with your OB.
