So I was googling this just because I was interested and I did find a website that states pregnant women are exempt from fasting and meat abstinence on Ash Wed (today) and Fridays. 

 Direct from the website:

During Lent abstinence from meat on Fridays is obligatory in the United States as elsewhere, and it is sinful not to observe this discipline without a serious reason (physical labor, pregnancy, sickness etc.). 

Those who are excused from fast or abstinence Besides those outside the age limits, those of unsound mind, the sick, the frail, pregnant or nursing women according to need for meat or nourishment,
