Honestly the vet you talked to does not sound like he/she is very knowledgeable cats ( a lot of vets concentrate on dogs). Pepto is similar to aspirin which is toxic to cats. Here is an article written by a vet on what the research says about giving pepto to cats (http://www.catster.com/lifestyle/does-pepto-bismol-work-for-cats-and-dogs). It is up to you if you want to give it to her, but I wanted to let you know there is a risk.
Things that are safe to give to cats is canned pumpkin (not pie filling), metamucil, plain yogurt or probiotics and slippery elm bark. She still needs to see a vet but these things may help tide her over-though because she is pregnant and has been sick for a week I am not advising to wait to see a vet. Also because the kitten food may be the reason she is sick, because it is new food, I would not give that and just give her boiled chicken and rice (no broth).
