good workouts for pregnancy

Been doing some research of good workout routines to be doing now the I am in my second trimester. I am told the more active you stay, the easier time you have when THE BIG DAY finally comes. Focusing on things I can do inside my house, since I live in an area where it rains a lot, and hubby works a lot, so I don't always have someone to go with me on a good ol' fashion walk! This is what I've come up with:

1) pregnancy yoga moves
cat/cow, child's pose, yogi pushups, and yogini squats

2) 30 minute workout
warm up for 10 minutes walking or dancing around, then "the moves" (squats, plie with lateral rise, opposite arm/leg reach, baby pushups), then cool down for 5 minutes (butterflies, leaning forward and rounding spine holding for 30 seconds)

3) morning/noon/night workout
Morning - spine aligners, yoga cat pose
Noon - runner's stretch, chest opener
Night - Side stretch, child's pose

4) Ready, Set, Push workout
Belly breathing, drawing in abs at the end of exhale
Belly dancing on all fours, pull in abs on exhale, tilt pelvis under, hold for count of 5
Elevators, pulling in abs on exhale, hold for 30 seconds breathing normally, do 5 squeezes
Squat combo, use chair, lower to deep squat behind, weight over heels, do a kegel, then draw in abs as you exhale.

 

If you ladies have any other good workouts you have tried or heard of, let me know!
