It's important to maintain a fitness routine while pregnant -- it helps keep weight gain to a healthy minimum and the post-baby slimdown on track. Plus, who doesn't need a little energy boost during all those months of pregnancy?

To keep your pounds in check and a bounce in your step, CafeMom thinks pilates is the way to go. It's low-impact, it strengthens the core, and most moves can be modified to fit your ever-changing body. Check out CafeMom's featured video, and you'll see Nisha from The 9 Month Club as she demonstrates two perfect moves for growing moms.
