Exercise during pregancy

Anyone working out during pregnancy? I feel like I should start doing something to get me out of the house after work. Since I am in canada, would snow showing and cross country skiing be safe? Any other suggestions would be helpful :) thanks! I am going onto 30 weeks this Tuesday.

If it's something that you'd do normally, it should be safe. Just listen to your body and don't push too hard.
For someone like me, who's pretty lazy, starting a new exercise or  activity would be a bad idea. Bit of you're normally pretty active do what you want and what feels good. Although I wouldn't suggest sky diving or ski jumping, anything particularly dangerous. But there are plenty of women who run marathons on their due dates or keep doing their cross fit and lifting, yoga, and what have you throughout pregnancy.
