Yes: Check with your ob-gyn, however it is usually safe and recommended in the second trimester.

Should be OK: Getting your cleaning during pregnancy would normally be recommended, unless your obg suggests not to. During pregnancy, hormones tend to create havoc with your gum tissue, causing it to swell and bleed- therefore easier to trap food and plaque. Also, if you had gone through morning sickness, the acidity also weakens the enamel. I hope your doctor ok's your visit, but definitely listen to them.

Safety: If you are healthy and have a non-high risk pregnancy there should be no reason for concern. Unless you obg is oppose to you having your teeth clean, there is no contraindications
