Some benefits of exercise during pregnancy are as follows:

Boosts your energy levels.
May helps prevent or improve Gestational Diabetes.

Improves your mood and makes you feel good by releasing endorphins, the naturally occurring chemicals in your brain.
Helps you to prepare for the physical challenge of labour and birth. Gaining control over your breathing through exercise can help you manage pain during labour.
As pregnancy progresses, your energy level might vary greatly and you might not be able to do the same exercise that you were doing before. This is normal and you might want to vary or modify your exercise regimen.
During pregnancy you can aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity on most day of the week if not every day.
However, always consult with your doctor and take an OK from him or her before choosing your activities during pregnancy.
If your doctor says it’s safe for you to exercise during pregnancy, pick activities you think you will enjoy like dancing, walking,
swimming, yoga etc.

Not all exercises are safe for you doing pregnancy such as skipping, jumping, etc. You need to avoid doing such exercises and choose exercise for fitter pregnancy. Abdominal and pelvic floor exercises are a good try during pregnancy.
