Zumba?

Has anyone had experience doing Zumba while pregnant?  I just got my positive today and want to try to keep in ok shape, and I love doing Zumba.  Just wondered if anyone has experience doing it or have you gotten the no-go about it?

    I'm a Zumba instructor and as long as you don't do the jumps you are fine to do zumba. Of course you should clear it with your doctor too. I'm 8 weeks and my doctor doesn't have a problem with me teaching as long as  I don't jump.

    I do a 60 minute hip hop class once a week as part of my weekly routine.  We do a couple of Zumba dances, and it has been great.  I have barely modified at all.

    I'm continuing to do it once a week. My hips/pelvis are starting to get achy and, after Monday's class, I think Zumba really helped with that.

    I do zumba once or twice a week and LOVE it (would do it more if scheduling allowed). My dr said I don't need to make any modifications at all as long as I feel good, and so far I haven't needed to. Aside from the obvious benefits of exercise, it puts me in a great mood, which is also good for LO! And (s)he can hear now, so I love thinking about him/her rocking out to the music during class :-)

    ETA: Congrats on your BFP!
