    A brisk walk and prenatal video sounds fine, but double check with your doctor. I wouldn't suddenly start doing fitcross or something like that.
    Also, make sure you take your prenatal vitamins!
    Also, also Congrats!

    My doctor's advice was "if you did it before you were pregnant, you're fine doing it while pregnant." His exceptions were horseback riding, waterskiing/wakeboarding, and going in the hot tub--those were big no-nos.

    Don't start anything new (except maybe prenatal vitamins) until you have chatted with the doctor. Congrats!
