Back strengthening exercises while pregnant?

[morningpaper]

Anyone know what exercises are good for your back and tummy while pregnant? I'm a bit worried that I've been neglecting my back for a long time and I keep remembering that I'm going to be lugging a new baby around for months and months if s/he's anything like the last one...

have you asked your midwife or checked if you have a physio at the hospital who works with pregnant women? I had a really bad back (because of the DTs) and the midwife referred me. They do lots of safe exercises that you can do throughout and afterwards. Sorry can't help more.
