Here a question for all the ladies (and the men who know about these things). How much can you train while you are pregnant? What experiences have people had?

From my limited bloke knowledge you should be ok with cycling and swimming but best to avoid running. Cycling'll probably only see you good for the first few months and then the baby and stuff'll get sqaushed - best ask the doc/nurse at your first scan/appointment!
There was a woman in my swim class that was still swimming a week before she was due... we were getting worried we'd have to deliver the bambino poolside! [:D] The good news is she said with all the swimming (5 times a week) she didn't have any of the aches the others in her ante-natal classes were having!!
Congrats and good luck with the training

Just listen to your body and you will know how much you can do. I used a heart rate monitor which helped me take it easy. Enjoy !
Use of a HRM would be a good tool for monitoring the immediate level of your heart whilst training - apart from that just remember to eat & drink in approportion to your needs ie training baby & you
hope that some help

I found that I jusst naturally slowed down. But must say recovered v.quick after the birth and did nto have any excess weight, had a flat stomach 2 weeks later!![:D] Just take it easy.
