Here's a little somthing.

Until recently, high-potency neuroleptics were considered the safest antipsychotic medications in pregnancy (Altshuler et al., 1996). However, a study by Goldstein et al. (2000) found no evidence of increased risk in 23 cases of olanzapine (Zyprexa) exposure. This raises the question of whether olanzapine should be included as a possible treatment for pregnant women requiring an antipsychotic and/or a mood stabilizer. More data are needed.
