Congratulations Joanna! I have a 13 month old and I've been trying to actively exercise since the end of December. We recently had out of town company, then DH has been out of town, so I've slacked off the past two weeks. Fully intend to get back to it though! I've been checking in at the Beginners. Perennial Beginners & Restarters Check in, and it might be a good one for you. It's for those of us who like or for whatever reason are keeping workouts low impact, low key etc. I'd think that those sorts of workouts would be good for pregnancy, at least until you get close to the third trimester (I think twists and ab work on the floor are contraindicated after a certain point... I had a very low energy pregnancy and regular exercise didn't happen for me, so I don't know). Anyway, the check in has gotten pretty quiet the past few weeks, but we can certainly revive it. Like I said, I fully intend to get back to my exercise. I've been working out mostly with Ellen Barrett, adding in some Jessica Smith, Jennifer Galardi and Tracey Mallett once in awhile. We also have those who like Body Beast, Leslie, Pilates by Lisa, and Classical Stretch/ Essentrics (among others). Jessica has a few really good prenatal workouts on her channel, and if you're interested in Pilates, Robin's The Balanced Life has some great tutorials and a full prenatal series as well.
