Good exercise: There are no restrictions on stairs in low risk pregnancies. In fact many women go use the stairmaster exercise machine to help maintain fitness.

Activity as Normal: In your first trimester of pregnancy, your uterus hasn't even risen out of your pelvis yet and so i wouldn't expect for your pregnancy to affect your activity nor your activity to affect it. I wouldn't run any marathons (some people have), but i hope you won't let the pregnancy control your life this early on. You have 18 years for that later. ;).
