exercising advice?

Hey moms. i am around 6-8 weeks. (thats all my doctor told me on my last appointment my next appointment is on tuesday) and i was wondering if walking my dogs was a no. they don't pull me there good at walking. i have huskys! should i not walk them and walk alone, or should i walk a certain distance. i hear exercise early in pregnant and the whole pregnancy helps out a lot! i just don't want to hurt myself. what do you guys think? this is my first pregnancy.

I know its bad from my last pregnancy I just did not understand why she would tell me that... so I really do not trust her she tells me things that are contradicting to what I was told my first pregnancy.

I am 28wks4days and still waking/running/exercising 5 days a week. I cut down from 5 to 3 miles. If you did it pre-pregnancy, it's okay during unless you're high-risk.

You should be perfectly fine. There's people who are running so I'm sure walking dogs would be just fine
