If you're having a healthy pregnancy, it's safe to use a vibrator. But if you're at risk for preterm labor, it can be risky to have an orgasm, because an orgasm can stimulate contractions.

It's generally safe – although if the material (such as plastic) that the vibrator is made from is more rigid than flesh and if you're using it for penetratiuon, you'll want to be extra careful not to penetrate too forcefully. If you use one, make sure that it's clean.
In these instances, a vibrator would not be safe: If you have placenta previa, using a sex toy (or, for that matter, having intercourse) could traumatize the placenta and cause heavy bleeding that might jeopardize your pregnancy. If you're at risk for premature labor, having an orgasm could cause contractions. And if your water has broken and you insert a sex toy, there's a risk of infection to the baby.
