Usually during pregnancy the oral hygiene is compromised...so since it is it second trimester its safe to carry out a routine cleaning of the teeth...any procedure apart from this needs your gynecs consent.

You can safely do cleaning and polishing ( scaling of teeth) . In fact it is recommended that you take extra care of your gums and teeth during pregnancy as hormone changes can affect the gums. Brush twice daily and use a dental floss if possible.
Health Tips
Avoid bleaching at this time but you can use any whitening toothpastes for a few weeks if you want
