Get this book and read it. It will give you much more confidence in the decisions you make, we found it very helpful. It was one of the very few resources we could find which is based on studies on actual pregnant women.

Plus some other things to think about if you have not already:
"Besides external factors, there are internal factors to think about when climbing. As you gain weight, you may be more susceptible to finger and elbow tendon injuries or strains if you continue to push as hard as you have before. Just as you would train when you are not pregnant, be well aware of joints and tendons and try to avoid “the pump.” Back off whenever you need to and stretch frequently. Furthermore, as you gain weight, you’ll notice that your center of gravity shifts upwards and forward; be sure to stretch muscles that get shortened during pregnancy (lower back, chest, and hip flexors) and strengthen muscles that get overstretched (hamstrings, glutes, abdominals and upper back)."
