I got the answer to this question from the website for Food Standards Australia and New Zealand. I recommend using the information provided by them for any other questions you may have about what is safe/unsafe to eat whilst pregnant.

Soft Italian style cheeses
Mozzarella, Provolone, Cacioccvallo, Bocconcini , Scamorze
The heat treatment (typically 71-88°C ) given to these cheeses is sufficient to inactivate any Listeria present, however opportunities exist for post processing contamination.
In general these cheeses are safe to consume by at risk groups if purchased pre packaged. Avoid these cheeses if purchased at a delicatessen counter.
Cheese cake
Yes.
Yes.
It is not recommended that pregnant women eat Roquefort cheese. It is a blue moldy cheese and mold has toxins that are not good for the baby. Also it is a raw milk cheese with a fresh rind so there is a lot of bacteria, such as listeria that may be present as well. Listeriosis can cause miscarriage and early delivery. I love blue cheese but its not a good idea to eat while pregnant.
Provolone cheese should not be a problem. Try to avoid soft cheeses such as feta, and blue cheese.

With any soft cheese, including Brie, Camembert and Ricotta, there is a minor risk of Listeria infection when consumed. Bocconcini, however is heated to over 80 degrees in manufacturing which means it is much safer than soft cheeses.If you are pregnant, it is much safer to consume soft cheeses if they are cooked and served hot (as this kills any bacteria in the cheese).Source: La Casa Del Formaggiohttp://www.lacasa.com.au/qa.htm
It is never a good idea for a pregnant woman to eat undercooked or raw foods...including unpasturized milk and soft cheeses such as goats cheese
