Electric pancake griddles can be real lifesavers. Sometimes you really do need simple carbohydrates for energy, and throwing some pancake batter bought from the store onto the griddle with some dried fruit chopped into it is a good solution.

Risks and Benefits of Exercise During Pregnancy II
Some Specific Cautions for Exercise During Pregnancy
* Heart rate: The original ACOG guidelines were to keep maternal heart rate under 140 beats per minute. You can estimate your heart rate by taking a six-second count, then adding a zero to your result. With the added demands and blood flow in your body, you may find that your heart rate increases far more quickly than before exercise.

Current guidelines suggest exercising at 50-60% of your Maximum Heart Rate.
