You can excercise: In pregnancy at a moderate level; no need to push yourself to the max. Crunches will get harder over time obviously, but resistance training and cardio, if done reasonably, are advised.

Yes: You may continue to do what you tolerate in pregnancy if you already have an established exercise routine.
