I've not done it myself, but I know three (at least) players who have. The size of the belt is indeed the limiting factor (get an extension made). Whether or not you believe in pre-natal influence is up to you - you could either produce the next Pauline Cato, Kathryn Tickell, or whoever by playing to your child, or you could have the opposite effect......whatever that is?? Seriously, you will probably reach a point late in pregnancy where it will become uncomfortable / impossible, depending on the size/activity of junior. When you get kicked in the liver every time you play an inappropriate note, you know babe has cottoned on! Best of luck.
