I have just been given a prescription for Mefenamic Acid this morning and read the side effects leaflet carefully from start to finish. It just says to NOT take this drug in the last 3 months of pregnancy. It doesn't state not to take at all if pregnant. Although, if you are pregnant then to consult with your doctor. Also says it may reduce your chances of becoming pregnant if taken whilst trying to conceive. Hope this helps.

In late pregnancy, as with other NSAIDs, Mefenamic Acid should be avoided because it may cause premature closure of the ductus arteriosus.
