There are several asanas and their variations that can be done at various stages of pregnancy. various schools have different takes on how asanas should be practiced when pregnant. Here, i'll talk about the poses that i have practiced.
A few very important points to be taken care of are:
1) Each pregnancy is different so asanas that might suit someone might not be comfortable for others.
2) It's always better to consult your doctor before commencing your practice.
3) If you have never practiced yoga before, do it under some expert's guidance.
4) Everything needs to be done according to one's comfort level only. It's not the time to explore and experiment.
5) Being cautious helps.
There are 3 meditative poses that i used to regularly practice throughout pregnancy.
- Sukhasana (Happy pose)
- Vajrasana

I feel these are postures which i could not practice with so much sincerity before because of my focus on other asanas. So in a way it was a chance for me to develop that area of my practice. One of the major benefits of these asanas is that it emphasizes the flow of blood to the abdominal region where the fetus resides. This is a very important phenomenon. i felt really good practicing these asanas and i tried to practically sit in any of these.
