Exercises to maintain weight?

I know walking is a good exercise, and this might be an obvious answer to the question but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of exercises I could do to maintain my weight. Im paranoid if i gain too much weight my baby will be too big and cause difficulties during labor which terrifies me..Im wanting to avoid a c section so bad!

In the beginning of my pregnancy  I did cycling and swimming. I also did a lot of stretches on the exercise ball.

I love Zumba too but i wouldn't starting Zuma though if you weren't doing it before your pregnancy only because it is a lot of jumping and can be intense. Yoga is a good idea. It really is a good workout and you don't bounce around or exert too much. It is amazing for strength and flexibility and burns calories too.

Well im big into zumba and when I got pregnant my doctor said thats a great workout that it wouldnt hurt to keep doing it but just in moderation. If ur body is used to working out it shouldnt  be an issue to continue.
