Besides walking, swimming, all of the cardio exercises, I am wanting to know some good muscle toning exercises to do as well. I know of the Kegel exercises. I know that you can pretty much do any arm/shoulder exercises with dumbells just as easy while pregnant. What about for butt and thighs? Are squats/lunges okay? How about pelvic lifts? Any other good ones that you know of?
Squats and lunges are great, they prepare your muscles for birth, pelvic lifts are ok to an extent, at a certain point some docs will tell you to stay off of your back, others say if it is comfy no prob, talk to yours.

I bought a really good pregnancy book at target that listed a whole bunch of different exercises and illustrated how to do them. I would look into something liek that if I were you.
