I never did. I had to move to a stationary bike instead of my bike because of risk of falls, but talk to your doctor's there are a lot of exersises that you can do to help you get ready for labor. After about the fourth month or so you want to avoid laying flat on your back.
Just take it easier and let your DR know what you are doing.

I assume you asked about exercising during pregnancy.
I thinking there is no limit on when, as long as you feel comfortable with. To tell you the truth, I exercise even the day before contraction.
Talk to you OB and see if there is some exercise that you should not be doing, and find out what heart rate you should keep below during exercise. Most important, start to listen to your body, if you over exercise, your body will let you know.. Find out if there any "expecting mom" or "mommy in motion" class in your area. I took the class for 5 mos and it helped toned up some of my muscle and relaxed my lower back. I love the class alot. And I gotta share with other expecting moms.

You can continue to exercise right up til the baby is born if you feel comfortable with your exercise routine and the doctor says it's ok. Depends on what kind of exercising you are doing though. Walking you can continue to do. Modified versions of other exercises can be done as well. I'm mom to 3.

You can exercise up until the end or until you no longer feel comfortable, with your doctor's approval of course. Do not, however, start an exercise program after you are pregnant. Doctors advise against this since your body is already going thru many changes.

You can do it the whole way through. Just check with you ob/gyn to make sure that it is okay for you to continue. I know many women who walked, did yoga, pilates, weight lifting, ( small weights only) during the entire pregnancy. Good luck

Don't have to stop exercising until contractions are 3 minutes apart, or until they exhaust you to do so.
