The reason why I think this may be a good thing is that I want to cut down the chances of developing gestational diabetes or pregnancy-related hypertension. I also may get me into better shape so that I can lose post-pregnancy weight faster.

I know you are not doctors but maybe someone here has previously questioned your doctor on this.

Thanks!

If you start before you become pregnant, it’s better. 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.
