I exercised with a personal trainer up to 36 weeks. The information I was given was.
1. You can keep exercising at your current rate and fitness level. But don't push yourself and try and do more than before. Now is not the time to try and increase your fitnss our train for a marathon etc.
2. Monitor your heartrate, keep it below 180
3. Monitor your body temp, it's not good to overheat, in can damage a developing fetus. This also means no hot baths or saunas.
4. After 1st trimester cut out the abdominal exercises
5. After 1st trimester, don't do exercises or stretches that require you to lie flat on your back for extended periods
5. Be careful with weights, don't try and go for any PBs in this time. The hormones in your body designed to soften everything downstairs for labour also effect your other tissues so you are more prone to sprain injuries. I found I had to stop using free weights and use the weight machines for more control

Hope this helps!

PS: include a lot of pelvic floor exercises in your workout!
