yep i have been advised i can keep up physical activity and this has been great for me.. i think if you were reasonably active before then there is little reason to stop except for the reasons ppl have said before (contact sports etc). It is important not to overheat or get heart rate too high....
I have chgd my routine and do a lot more swimming, yoga, pilates - i used to do spinning, pump etc bc that makes me feel better and I have had back pain etc. I was also walking a lot but needed to stop this a bit and only do 20 mins max at a time as i have had pelvic pain... (it is good for some preg women and bad for others apparently) - but i find all the exercise i do REALLY makes me feel good and many of the women in my yoga and pilates classes have done this up to the day or so around when they went into labour.
there are also heaps of classes esp for preg women and i think these are good as exercises are adapted and you are watched a bit - that helps me to know i am not going to do damage (worried about over stretching and hurting myself etc)
