I went to Pamps last year (first time ever skiing, at age 60:-)), and the previous year (obviously as a non-skier).
TBH, I had a lot more fun as a new, novice skier - the slopes are relatively easy, the instructors generally very good, and you'll probably find enough congenial company in your group to make the effort worthwhile.
OTOH, if you are sure you don't want to take the risk because of your pregnancy, (and remember it's your call, not anyone else's!), it's quite feasible to walk ...

OTOH, if you are sure you don't want to take the risk because of your pregnancy, (and remember it's your call, not anyone else's!), it's quite feasible to walk around the pisted area, unlike some snottier resorts. The nice gentle green from the top by the TV tower is an excellent outing, just remember that there are skiers using it, so keep to one side and don't make sudden movements;-)
I didn't find Pamps itself to be very interesting or charming during the day, while everyone else was out on the piss^Hte, and hotel swimming pools, beauty treatments, jacuzzi etc. have limited appeal.
Hope this helps, and that you have agreat time whatever you decide.
