Walking, riding a stationary bike. But, they seem to push walking. Pregnancy yoga is good. There is also pregnancy pilates and pregnancy tai chi, all modified dvd for preggos. :)

Aerobics are great, but you have to keep your pulse under a certain amount (instructor or doctor could tell you the rate). Anything you've done before pregnacy is safe, but avoid working your abs and lifting. Yoga is about the best thing I ever did while pregnant, but I had to give it up when I got too big to bend. Also, water aerobics feel WONDERFUL later in the pregnancy.
Talk with your doctor or call a pregancy advice line if one's available to you. Also, qualified instructors and trainers know what pregnant women can and cannot do to stay safe.

You really need to discuss it with your Dr, as they will consider things like how fit you were before pregnancy, any new conditions (like blood pressure changes and pre-eclampsia), also how far along you are and how much weight you've put on. Swimming is a great exercise for all pregnant women regardless of level of fitness, I didn't even know how to swim (!) I just waded through chest-high water and it felt great as well as keeping me fit. Alot of Dr.'s strongly recommend you don't take up things like yoga and pilates without a proper pregnancy instructor unless you are already profficient in these exercises. Over 60% of women who try yoga the first time sustain a serious injury - and that's NOT the pregnant one's. So take it gently, and best of luck!

If there are non-contact things that you've always done, like swimming or tennis, you can continue those activities.
If you're starting something new, about the only thing you can do is walk. And walking is excellent exercise, and will strengthen you for labor and delivery. Just remember to not overdo it, and stay well hydrated.

That is something you have to ask your doctor. They go off how far along you are and what condition you are in.

Yoga, swimming, walking- anything that is low-impact.
