In the US, pregnant women can get the injection but not the nasal spray vaccine. The virus in the vaccine that is made to be used in a shot is dead/deactivated. The virus in the vaccine that is made to be used as a nasal spray is attenuated/weakened ("attenuated" means it is not strong enough to make you sick), but there have not been clinical trials or approval for use of nasal spray vaccinations for swine flu in pregnant women yet. See also the related links section for information and guidelines about flu vaccinations in pregnancy from the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Their general recommendation is that all pregnant women should be vaccinated against the flu regardless of the trimester.
My suggestion would be to visit the website for the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (acog.org). Under the 'Information' tab there is a reliable list of other sources of information also.
