i have always heard that swimming is great when you are pregnant cause the water takes pressure off your back, belly and joints and its good for you and burns calories. also walking is great cause its low impact but its supposed to help with labor too. both of these are also great after the birth to help you get back in shape ↑

Walking is good exercise. I used to walk and do stretching. Mostly back stretches. Getting on my hands and knees and arching my back up, and holding it for a 10 count, then down an arching my head back for a 10 count. I was having some back problems and my midwife told me to do those. I am starting those again, and keigels...lol I already started doing my keigels. :p ↑
