No: Haldol (haloperidol) is a safer option in pregnancy. I would avoid medication in pregnancy especially the first trimester unless medicaly necessary.

Zyprexa (olanzapine): Discuss with your physician the risks vs. Benefits, also possible alternative meds. Depending on your need and the stage of pregnancy.
