I used to work on my feet all day too. For both of my first 2 pregnancies and I was simply too exhausted to do anything else like cardiovascular but I really wish I would've been able to do prenatal yoga at least.
If you can workout more,  you're going to have an easier labor.

Prenatal yoga is specific to pregnancy. There are certain poses to help with all the fun pregnancy related issues like back pain as well as keeping you limber for labor.
It's nice because everyone in the class is pregnant so you feel surrounded with support and understanding of how you're feeling.

On the same note, I am on my feet all day, walking around. Does that count, or should I be doing more?

Do you do other types of exercise?  I don't go walking, but I do prenatal yoga and cycling and weight lifting.  It's really just a matter of staying in shape so that labor isn't as difficult.
