I will not suggest you do any inverted poses during pregnancy or anything that contracts (forward bends) or expands the abdomen too much as they might adversely affect the position of the child.

For pregnancy yoga exercises, you can also look into mild, yet deep square breathing (which will be best executed with the Corpse and Hero Poses Described Above) as this also helps strengthen the lungs in preparation for the heavy breathing involved with childbirth.

Moreover, on the subject of Yoga as a superior choice of exercise (either exclusively or combined with other Calisthenics), one is not truly practicing Yoga (or any proper physical culture of exercise at that) without observing some basic dietetic guidelines, such as abstaining from all junk, processed, packaged, refined, mucus-forming foods.

So research properly what works best for you and your pregnancy as far as exercise is concerned.

Nonetheless, here's to health and a healthy baby.

Yoga Breathing Exercise Fundamentals

...f harmony is natural and that there are many aspects of life that pull apart our inner harmony. Yoga breathing exercise is one of the basic fundamental techniques we can use to control and even eliminate the impact external forces have on our overall health and well-being.

Take our fight or flight response as one example. The instinctual fight or flight response served our ancestors well, arising infrequently to keep our ancestors out of danger and harm. Today, most of us suffer from an almost chronic, permanent fight or flight response triggering symptoms that lead to digestive problems, high blood pressure, deterioration of the arteries and many other stress-related illnesses.
