jumping jacks?

So today in class my teacher made me doing jumping jacks for 1 minute, and I'm 24 weeks.. My mom was pissed that he made me do that, cuz she says it hurts the baby.. Is that true? Also this was my health teacher that made me do this...

If it's something you don't normally do, I wouldn't do a LOT of them? Or really quickly? But if you do them at a good pace and didn't stay inactive the rest of the pregnancy you should be fine. Considering women can typically still run while pregnant, and jumping jacks does about the same to your body.
