this is truly a question you need to ask your ob because there are many different factors to set up a program just for you things like your current activity level, health history, and how your pregnancy is going ....be safe.

I know many pregnant women who go swimming, or just walkiing around the water- to them it's really relaxingm and is known as a good exercise in pregnancy. Ask ur dr what other exercise you can do, usually u can continue most of the same exercises until a certain week. Walking seems to be the whole way thru, but be careful towards the end.

i think doing some squats or going up the stairs is a good form of light exercise. I think for swimming you can start anytime.
