Tayammum Instead of Ghusl Due to Fear of Illness

Question
A pregnant woman fears that washing due to janabah (major ritual impurity) will make her sick and cause her headaches and nausea. Is it permissible for her to perform tayammum?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: This is not an excuse for performing tayammum for someone residing in the city, and God knows best.
