My question is:
What kind of training is ok for mothers to be???
When should they lay off exercise?
Any help would be great for me to pass on.

If she was a regular exerciser before, then there is no reason to stop. the first 12 weeks are when the baby is at its most vulnerable. there are certain exercises to avoid at different stages (lying on the back in second and third trimester etc) the cardio is ok right up to the day of dropping as long as its not too hard.
current reccommendations are to continue exercising.
