If you are used to doing aerobis and step classes then it should be ok. You shouldnt take them up now whilst you are pregnant if you are not used to it!!!
You may find though, further into your pregnancy, certain moves you may not be able to perform due to the size of your bump - but you should be able to do the classes at your own pace. Cardio exercise is very good for pregnancy, it helps deliver oxygen to both mother and child so it will help with the babies development.

I've also read that if one is already doing something before pregnancy (aeorobics, step, yoga) then it's fairly safe to continue while pregnant. Just talk to your instructor as there may be some things that s/he may advise you against doing. I've also read that yoga is very good for pregnancy. I've done a lot of self-taught yoga, but have really not looked into doing any pre-natal stuff. (I'm already six months pregnant.) I've heard that the breathing can help with labor, which is what I am hoping on, as I'm hoping to avoid the epidural route.
Anyway, I hope this helps.
