Yes: From 16 weeks of pregnancy onward, it is best not to do any exercise that requires you to be flat on your back.

Listen to your body: Everything in moderation. Early in pregnancy excessive exercise of any kind is not helpful. If there is a heart burn issue raising the intra-abdominal pressure can increase the chance of hiatal hernia. See essential exercises of the childbearing year.
