In the US, ranitidine is classifed as a Pregnancy Category B drug, meaning:
"Animal reproduction studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women OR Animal studies have shown an adverse effect, but adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus in any trimester"
In Australia they categorize it as a Pregnancy Category B1, meaning:
"Drugs that have been taken by only a limited number of pregnant women and women of childbearing age, without an increase in the frequency of malformation or other direct or indirect harmful effects on the human fetus having been observed.
Studies in animals have not shown evidence of an increased occurrence of fetal damage".
This means that is it probably safe to take during pregnancy, but it's best to ask your GP, especially if you're having an ongoing problem with indigestion/acid reflux.
