    When my wife was pregnant our doctor told us to refrain from deep thrusting... if you want to consider intercourse as being an "exercise."
    Deep thrusting can harm the baby's head when the mother is in the latter months of pregnancy. Whenever my wife and I were having intercourse it was painful for her at times. She sometimes told me that she felt pain deep inside her, but we didn't know what or why. I could feel the end of my penis reaching the depth of her uterus. That is when our doctor told us that I was "too long" and pushing her uterus to the side.

    Actually, the activities mentioned in this answer will result in an INCREASE in the maternal heart rate. Exercise, in and of itself, results in an increase in the heart rate. The mentioned activities will result in an increase in the maternal heart rate because the uterus will partially obstruct the venous return of the inferior vena cava thereby diminishing the blood flow to the heart. The heart then compensates for this by INCREASING the maternal heart rate. This is why women, around the mid-second trimester, begin to feel lightheaded when standing or lying supine for extended periods of time.
