As long as you keep the level of exercise consistent with what your body is used to, you should be fine for now. Don't let yourself get out of breath and don't exert yourself, and drink plenty of water. As you get bigger though you will have to start taking it easy, needless to say moving around will become a lot more difficult! But exercise is really good for you whilst pregnant as long as you don't over do it.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Best of luck x

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I used to cycle 7 miles into work and kept that up until I was 5 months or so, I just went slower. I mostly stopped because it was winter and I was worried about slipping on black ice. I'm now 8 months and now take the bus into town and walk the last mile to work. Like you, I enjoy the exercise. Do whatever feels comfortable to you and for your body. My midwife said to continue with the sports I was doing, but maybe to avoid starting a new one.

I hope it all goes well for you!
