I will try to get the list for you, but you know new drugs are not allowed to be tested on pregnant ladies, so the effects of a lot of drugs are not known, so it's better to ask in this way: Does anyone know a list of safe drugs during pregnancy?

But there are notorious drugs with harmful side effects in pregnant ladies and these are some samples:

Thalidomide----amelia, or micromelia (absence os limbs or very short limbs)
Phenytoin----fetal hydantoin syndrome
Chloramphenicol----grey baby syndrome
Tetracyclines-----teeth malformation and discoloration
Aspirin----early closure of ductus arteriosus
Carbamazepine-----cleft lip and palate
Warfarin----Recommended use only during the 13th to 36th week of pregnancy because of fetal abnormalities associated with it's use during the first trimester - chondrodysplasia punctata - and after the 36th week - fetal intracerebral bleeding.
Lithium----Increases the incidence of Ebstein's anomaly, increased associated miscarriage risk with lithium treatment during pregnancy.
Sodium valproate----Increased risk (x20) of infant with spina bifida.
ACE inhibitors---Renal damage
Cocaine----Abnormal fetal dev. & addiction.
DES---Vaginal clear cell adenocarcinoma.
Iodide---Cong. goiter or hypothyroidism.
Isotretinoin---Ear,Brain & Heart malformation.

That's for now, the list will follow
