Yes! There is an overwhelming amount of research that shows that exercise is good for both mom and baby, helps you to recover more quickly after the birth, and may even result in a shorter labour. The general guideline is to do the same level during pregnancy as you did before, and to slow down or stop if you get out of breath or feel faint. Your blood volume increases 40-50% in pregnancy, so things that would not have made you faint before, may now. Take it easy, and listen to your body.
If you haven't been exercising before, a good way to start is brisk walking. Enjoy your pregnancy!
