Unknown: It might be safe, and in fact might be beneficial for preventing gestational diabetes (diabetes that occurs during pregnancy). Researchers in italy are recruiting for a clinical trial: http://clinicaltrials.Gov/ct2/show/nct01511835. However it has not been well studied so we really don't know for sure whether or not it is safe during pregnancy. Talk to your doctor.
