I can't give you a great answer for this question. This is considered a category C. medication in pregnancy, something that should be used as it is needed but that there are no great studies to prove its safety in pregnancy. Although commonsense would tell me that the amount you are applying is minimal, they can't find any data to tell you that it is absolutely safe.
