I work for the newspaper doing door-to-door sales for about 3hours a day. Is all that walking okay to do during an entire pregnancy?

Yep, walking is recommended when you are pregnant. Keep on walking!! It will only cause a problem if you have medical issues that put you on bedrest.

Of course, walking is the best exercise when pregnant. Just make sure you keep well hydrated.
But for me, once I had hit 5-6 months I had a hard time walking for more than 20 minutes. My 25 min walk home from work started to take 45 mins

Yes if you have been doing it since before becoming pregnant....doctors do not recommend starting an exercise regimine after becoming pregnant. Do what you feel your body can handle and if it gets to be to much for you then stop. Also towards the end you likely will need many bathroom breaks as the increase in presure on the bladder can become unbearable for some.

As long as you are not lifting more than your usual weight and you don't have a high risk pregnancy, walking from door to door should not be a problem!
As you get further along, though, you might want to slow down, seeing as water retention and the extra strain might be difficult!
Consult your doctor for a specific plan for you and your baby!

Oh, yes! What a great way to keep up your exercise while pregnant. It may actually end up smoothing your labor in the long run. This is great especially because your body already handles that kind of exercise, so keep it up. I'd just recommend making sure your shoes are in great shape and that you carry a water bottle. Congrats on your pregnancy and good luck!

yes. Many women go through many other types of workouts besides that DURING Pregnancy. If you have heared of Denise Austin, she has an entire workout program for pregnant women, If anything at all. Walking daily is healthy for both you and your baby.

As long as you don't need to be put on bed rest it's the best thing for you. If you read about it exercising helps for faster easier deliveries, and quicker recovery time.
