I did a lot of walking when I was pregnant - no idea if it was that beneficial but my OB recommended it. Another non-intense workout I enjoyed was 10 Minute Solution - Prenatal Pilates. If I'm remembering correctly there are 5 different 10 minute segments so I would just select and do 3 in a row. I bought the DVD but I'm pretty sure you can find the videos on YouTube.

Adding any exercise will be beneficial, whether you are pregnant or not! An added 30 minutes of walking is great. I was too overwhelmed to add anything new when I was pregnant with DD2, so I just walked whenever I could. I’m a runner so I literally felt like my muscles were atrophying, so I would also add squats and lunges when I could.

Walking, yoga or a barre class were great for me! I’m about to walk into a barre class for the first time in months at 19 weeks!

I also was unable to exercise for the first half of my pregnancy, then started a tiny bit after that. I incorporated about 30 min of walking every day plus a daily regimen of squats and a couple other little exercises. If you feel up for it, I would recommend prenatal pilates - there's a series free on YouTube I did in my first pregnancy where it's separated into five 10-minute workouts so you can do as much or as little as you feel like.

(I feel like the squats have been very helpful as I've gotten heavier - having the muscle strength in my lower body has been crucial for my continued mobility as this baby gets bigger and bigger).

I stared doing prenatal yoga around that point of my second pregnancy and loved it! I’d never liked yoga before but it felt so, so good, and helped during labor too

I'd start a walking program. Do you have a Fitbit or something? If you can, go at a pace where you get your heart rate up and actually start to feel like you are doing some work
I'd also add in 1-2x per week some Pilates or gentle core stuff/yoga. A lot can be done in sidelying and on hands and knees.
