I do not have specific answers for you, but I have heard that Geeta Iyengar's book, Yoga: A Gem for Women, answers questions about practice during pregnancy. My women teachers have always recommended that book.

As usual I would also recommend that you seek guidance directly with an experienced teacher in your area, and request access to their literature on the subject.

Best wishes on your adventure.
