Yes it is safe: For the fetus. However your body may take a beating from the extra weight and center of gravity shift during pregnancy. Make sure to wear good shoe. Compression sock and sit occasionally throughout the day.

Yes: In general, there is no reason you cannot work if pregnant.If your doc diagnosed a problem there might be a reason to cut back. I had a Jazersize instructor who led vigorous classes up to a week prior to delivery and began teaching again a week later. The fetus is best supplied by a mother in good health.
