ERCP can be done while pregnant but should only be done if absolutely necessary for therapeutic reasons. Main risks include pancreatitis (which could be devastating for the fetus), radiation exposure for the fetus as well as the complications normally expected during ERCP (i.e from sedation, contrast etc.) There are usually better options than ERCP for diagnostic purposes such as MRCP or EUS.
Complications associated with ERCP include excessive bleeding, infection, pancreatitis, cholangitis (inflammation of the bile ducts), cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder), and injury to the intestine.

This one's a mouthful. An ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) is a procedure that introduces substances backwards through the bile and pancreatic ducts via a colonoscopy to determine if there are any blockages in these ducts. The substances are radio-opaque so help visualize gallstones or narrowing of ducts under X-ray.
