I've asked my midwife that. And she really recommend walking, swimming... to workout the legs. I suggested a bike lol and she said that would be good but not so good now cuz my belly is big. So, to the gym n do it there. Don't wear yourself out though. Plenty of water. But being active really is paying off.
