zumba and pregnancy

So im a Zumba girl... I was just wondering. . This is my first pregnancy, and its going well, normal, no complications.  So, can I still do zumba?? Ive been doing it since I found out that im pregnant... then stopped at around 16 weeks because I would get really tired and also because family and friends would say that I shouldn't dance. So now im 30 weeks and have been doing Zumba since week 28 and I feel really energetic and love to dance.  
Is that ok??

I've loved to dance since I can remember and I dont think I can live without it.  Lol. I hear music and my body just starts wanting to dance.  Haha.
thanks in advance for your feedback.  :)

Well drs usually say if your body was used to doing before getting prego then it's ok to continue. so I think you should be fine just remember if you get tired stop and take a break don't push it.
