Yes, but it has to be made from pasteurized milk. The reason you are supposed to avoid raw milk products during pregnancy is because they are at risk for harboring the Listeria bacteria.
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.
It is best to avoid blue cheeses when pregnant.
Provolone cheese should not be a problem. Try to avoid soft cheeses such as feta, and blue cheese.

Well it all depends on what cheese you have. If you have Blue Cheese that you buy at the store then its good blue cheese. If you bought say marble cheese and its blue its moldy!
You need to look out for soft, mould ripened cheese, blue cheese and unpastureised cheeses. This applys for all milk types. If you can find one that's none of these it will be fine (such as Quickes goats cheddar).
Cheese - soft mould-ripened or blue cheese should be avoided, i.e. cheese that has a blue vein in it or the type of skin or crust that is found on cheese such as Brie or Camembert. Unpasteurised soft cheeses, such as those made from sheep and goat's milk are also best avoided.
