For example, I am addicted to DDR, but will all that stomping around be hazardous to my baby? Should I stick to boring pilates and the recumbant bike for exersise?

I was going to say pilates but you find that boring.. umm some areas have yoga and pilates groups for pregnant women and maybe you would not find it so boring if you were around other expecting mothers. Walking and swimming are also good and you can find some good pregnancy workout DVD's in stores. Before trying any thing, consult your doctor first.. especially since you are pregnant.

ALWAYS talk to your OB before starting an exercise routine during pregnancy. Oftentimes your OB will have handouts showing what kind of things you can do to prevent sciatica and things of that nature. Trust me, DDR won't be very fun in a few months anyway. Neither will riding a bike.

My doctor said that I could do normal exercises that my body was used to, but when i started to feel strain then stop. She said that was a way of your body telling you that it's not comfortable for you or the baby. I wouldn't do crunches or sit ups~ but try doing some light aerobics and try some yoga~ it's great for you and the baby~

walking is the best exercise.
Walk around the mall- go several laps
or Walk in the park.
I've heard of pregnant women getting hurt will riding a bike

Yoga generally would be good, although be careful, as your ligaments become more flexible in preparation for birth, so you might pull something! Swimming is also great, particularly as you get bigger!

I was told that your heart rate could not exceed 140 bpm. I wouldn't do anything too strenuous. I would keep it light..even if it's boring it's not worth risking anything.
