How much exercise are you doing?

Well, that's pretty much it really. I'm doing none and eating really badly, both of which stop today. Tomorrow I'll be going swimming at our local pool and I'm going to start eating normally again. But this is my first pregnancy and I'm curious - do you think that swimming twice a week and a pregnancy yoga lesson once a week would be sufficient to keep me in relative health?

I just did all the hoovering, does that count? it bloody well should because I'm knackered! =P

I'm 20+1 and it's mostly walking, I get to the gym for some light weights when I can face the insanity (ie. never after work!)

That's really helpful, thank you everyone! I used to be a fitness nut but dropped it about three years ago. So I'm in pretty poor shape. I've signed up for pregnancy yoga next week (and I'm really hoping that it won't be too woo) and I'm going to start swimming again I think.
