Is Nexgard enough flea protection, and what's safe for pregnant dogs?

Question

I am giving my cocker Nexguard to prevent fleas, and am wondering if that is enough protection, or should I use a topical also? We do not have an infestation, just saw one occasionally. Never saw eggs, larvae,flea dirt. Treated house as preventative, and am going to treat yard with Nyguard and another spray. If she becomes pregnant in a few months, what is the safest,most effective flea treatment for her?

You do not have do use anything else if you use Nexguard, if you start finding fleas just switch to a different type of flea treatment such as Bravecto or Advantage. When pregnant the only safe product is Frontline.
