ACOG also said that the widely-cited bpm restriction (I think my friend said it was 120 bpm) is no longer part of their recommendations and hasn't been for almost a decade.

YES, glad you found that. Someone I trust (a pregnant fitness instructor) told me exactly this) so I paid little attention to my heart rate while pregnant except to gode myself to get it to a respectable aeroboc level, which became increasingly difficult.

I had a baby two weeks ago and I was a workout fiend the whole time. He seems to be doing fine.

The theory I heard behind the not elevating ones core temp was that it would divert blood to the skin and away from the placenta. Don't know if that's actually true, but I can well believe that moderate aerobic exercise wouldn't evelate core temp anyhow.
