Fenugreek is in Dr Thomas Hale's book "Medications & Mother's Milk".  He doesn't give it a pregnancy rating; however, there is one line that says that a stimulant effect was observed in a guinea pig so I suspect that is why it would be considered contraindicated.  I believe I've read elsewhere about concerns that it could cause contractions.  So personally I would not recommend Fenugreek to a pregnant mother.  There are other options.
