The poses like baddha konasana, and upavistha konasana can be practiced, as these postures are very useful to give tonicity to the pelvic muscles and helps to reduce the intensity of labour pains.

Pranayama can be done, that is anuloma-viloma pranayama by avoiding retention step (kumbhaka), this can be practiced throughout the course of pregnancy, it helps to maintain peaceful mind.

Yama, niyama, asana, and pranayama are a part of yoga and can be practiced together as these four factors are a part of yoga or ashtanga yoga. Like following good deeds, and being loyal and following non-violence, etc are very important.
