I usually do Davina's DVDs and they're great. I'm now 12 wks pg (2nd baby) and feel I might be able to do exercise again without vomming now (!!) but Davina's pregnancy DVD isn't very tough at all.
It will be fine by the third tri, I know! But for now, should I buy another preg DVD, and if so which one? Or should I continue doing Davina's non preg ones, with common sense on the jumping and abs work?

Hi dewin - sorry I don't have any experience in exercising during pregnancy, but from my own experience......
I started taking Zumba classes from just before I found out I was pregnant (I am now 15 weeks with DC1) and found it really good fun and exercise. I told the instructor when I was 6 weeks and she told me that "the general consensus is if you have exercised before you will be okay".
I have exercised before during the number of diets I had undertaken, but decided (at the time, wisely or wrongly) that I felt okay and obviously would only do the exercises / dance moves that my body felt comfortable to do. I'm glad I decided this as it made me feel really good. I only did so much that I didn't exhaust myself or get too hot and drank loads of water during and after.
I think from my personal thoughts in a nutshell, you just need to listen to your body and only do what it is comfortably able to do.
