Only if the sterilization method used on the needles is poor, then you risk infection same as you would if you used someone else's toothbrush. Otherwise, there is no contraindication for acupuncture while pregnant. The embryo size is so small at 4 weeks, and since no chemicals are used, you are not affecting it's cellular development.
Just make sure that your practitioner uses sterile (preferably single-use disposable) needles.
