HRM vs bodybugg

I know this has done before, but I just wanted opinions for my situation. I have used the bodybugg pretty consistently in the cold months and for this particular Turbo Fire video it said I burnt around 550 calories for 55 minutes. However, when I got pregnant I purchased a HRM Polar FT-4 so I could track my HR of course. When I did this same video last night, it said I burnt 811 calories! And I was taking it a lot easier than I would have pre-pregnancy, I didn't do the high impact stuff and rarely let my HR get over 150. What are your opinions on this?

During pregnancy your body works harder and burns more calories. Pre-pregnancy I was barely buring any calories with exercise, after I became pregnant I started burning A LOT more. Heartrate is also considerably higher than it would be pre-pregnancy. I take my workouts a lot lighter than I used to and I burn way more than I did when I used to put my all in it and higher intensity. I have never used a bodybugg but I do have a polar FT-4 and I would say its more accurate because it monitors your HR. Just my opinion.
