Eliptical vs. Walking while pregnant

I've been told that the best thing that you can do while pregnant is to walk. I don't like to go walking because of the heat so I've pretty much have been using my eliptical machine the whole time I've been pregnant. Does anyone know if using the eliptical is just as good as walking while pregnant or will I benefit more from walking?

both are excellent low-impact forms of exercise - i don't think walking is better. i would do whatever you're most comfortable with, especially in the heat.

I was doing the eliptical. I only stopped because my gym memebership expired. It's a great exercise while pregnant.

My doc said no more elliptical for me. Don't know why.

I have been using the eliptical three times a week for a half hour since I found out I was pregnant. I think any kind of exercise (as long as there is no danger of injury) is good during pregnancy. That is my opinion though.
