You : You should bring your baby with you when you come in to have your teeth cleaned. If you are following an ideal regime for pregnant mums you should be coming in every 3 -4 months. You want you baby to get used to the dental environment, and coming with you for a regular cleaning appointment should be an ideal way to set the stage for what is normal in your life.
