Hi,
Glypride and glimisave are not recommended during pregnancy as it can cause hypoglycemia and can effect the fetus. You should get a second opinion ask your doctor to switch you to any other anti-diabetic medicine like metformin (recommended during pregnancy).
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
