I have a cold and am pregnant, my gym has a great steam room with eucalyptus which helps a lot when I am congested. Would it be OK to go in for literally two minutes just to get unclogged?

I would only for a minute or two. Not sure how far along you are, but the heat from the steam can open your blood vessels and increase your blood pressure, causing you to get dizzy. It's the same reason they say to avoid hot baths and jacuzzi's.

I would just for a few minutes and I would pay extra attention to how I feel. I used to sit in our bathroom while DH showered, just to clear myself up

It would probably make you feel awesome and unclogged. But like @Dandelion said, I'd go in for a few minutes. And make sure someone knows you're in there, in case you were to get dizzy or something.
-
I wouldn't but I hate steam rooms to begin with. I'd take a hot shower, or just turn the shower on hot with the doors closed and sit in the bathroom.

I use this religiously when I get sick. I also use the pediatric one on my two boys (1.5 and 4.5).
It really helps with congestion and clearing away all the gunk that's causing it. Hope you feel better soon!
