As with everything in pregnancy from sneezing to traveling you should ask your doctor first. So long as its not intense it is generally not dangerous to start during pregnancy, unless you have an incomplete cervix or something. Kegel exercises are REALLY good to get started on.<br><b>References : </b><br> The exercise you are suggesting is very low impact and low risk, little worries.

Don't rush working out thinking you have to start strong and then you find yourself exhausted quickly. Start slow is the way to go really.<br><b>References : </b><br> Everything in a timing.

Just don't do anything really strenuous that you aren't used to. The general rule is to not start something up during pregnancy that you didn't do pre-pregnancy (A good example would be someone who started playing tennis during pregnancy who didn't do it pre-pregnancy), but since walking is gentle on your body and not strenuous but still good for you, I'd say that is your best bet! Good luck!<br><b>References : </b><br> Yes– walking and light weights definately won't do any harm. Just don't do anything really strenuous that you aren't used to.

I'd be careful with the weights, keeping the weights light as you said (3-5 lbs). The diabetes question is more serious. Depending on your age and diet, the best way to stave off pregnancy-induced diabetes is to be very careful with your diet, keeping the candy and simple sugars in the cupboard for now. If you get your walking in, and keep your diet moderated, you should be able to avoid some of these problems.<br><b>References : </b><br> From what I have read, walking during pregnancy is the best form of exercise.

But yeah, light, low-stress exercise is very much recommended. It helps with your own health, and (big bonus) helps make the actual labor easier. You just sometimes have to take it down a bit. For example I've been doing physical therapy for my back, and my physical therapist just gave me a gentler, easier, set of exercises for while I'm pregnant. If you're wondering about any specific exercise, just be sure to talk to your doctor.<br><b>References : </b><br> If you start before you become pregnant, it's better.
