Answer
It depends on your level of fitness now. If you normally exercise then you can continue what you normally do. If, however, you waited until you were pregnant to start an exercise routine, then you should take it easy. Dont do things that will raise your heart rate too much. You could do things like biking, and light lifting, yoga and pilates, but dont do any running or high impact exercises. You can work your way up to harder exercises, but make sure your doctor approves of any exercise program. You dont want to short your baby oxygen that it needs. If you are already fit then your body has already adjusted to distributing more oxygen when it is physically challenged. Like I said though, check with your doctor before starting something new, if you are already physically fit then they will just tell you to keep doing what you normally do.
My answer is based on you being very early in your pregnancy, if you are further along, like second trimester, and you are just now starting, just be careful whatever you do.

Exercise bikes & pregnancy...?
My bab
I've just bought one & found out i'm pregnant... I was hoping to be nice & fit for the summer!!! I've got no chance now!!! Anyway, is it safe to still do light exercise on it?? Thanks xx
Answer
I'm not 100% sure, but I do believe that an exercise bike is a bad idea. When sitting on it, it buts alot of stress on the cervix.
