I completely agree that you should talk candidly with your OB/GYN. Having said that, (and at the risk of pissing a lot of people off), I would stop BDSM play during the pregnancy if it were me. Of course, it is not me and so it is completely up to you and your partner.
My reasons for this are purely, .....subjective. I believe in the emotional states of the mother affecting the unborn child. And while there is certainly a feeling of euphoria (sub-space) and endorphins and adrenaline present, there is also the possibility of fear, anxiety, stress and feelings of subservience. While I do not believe any of these things are bad for consenting adults, I believe it is unfair to intentionally subject an unborn child to the possible effects of your choices.
Again, all this is just a reflection of my feelings were I in your place....once again, I am not in your place and do not presume to tell you what to do. However, I thought you might like my reasons for my point of view, rather than an arbitrary response. All of this is merely 'food for thought', which you can either consider or totally disregard.
In either case, congratulations on your upcoming little addition, and I'm sure whatever you decide will be best for you. Good luck, be safe and enjoy!
