While it is likely safe, there are no studies or proof that it is safe to use during pregnancy. If you whiten, you are using the product "off label" and risking the health of your unborn child. You only have a few months to wait before there is zero risk, so most doctors would encourage waiting.

A: Pregnancy and Teeth Whiteners
I would not recommend it because there are no relevant clinical studies at this time. During pregnancy most staining compounds such as coffee, red wine and tea (caffeine) are avoided so it is best to take a break from whiteners.
