The reason why ham is one of the 'no no's for pregnancy is because it is cured by smoking rather than cooking with heat. This means that their is an increased risk of bacteria being present. But if you cook ham it is fine to heat. So you can eat ham on a pizza, or in a cooked dish without any worries.
Personally, at christmas I bake our leg of ham so that I can be confident that there is no issues.
