Before starting a physical activity, talk with your healthcare professional. All pregnant women should not exercise, especially if they are at risk for preterm birth or serious illness, like heart or lung disease. So, check with your health professional before starting an exercise program.Then decide what type of exercise will be conducted. Choose activities you enjoy. You want to try some. For example, walking for 30 minutes is the best way to get the benefits of aerobic exercise, and do not need to join a gym or buy special equipment. You can run or dance, if you want. Swimming is another form of exercise for pregnant women. Water supports your weight and provides resistance to help increase your heart rate. You can also take a yoga or aerobics class designed for pregnant women. You'll find that doing a variety of activities will help to stay motivated to continue to exercise during your pregnancy - and beyond.
Be careful when choosing a sport. Avoid activities that may put you at risk for injury, for example, horseback riding or downhill skiing. Avoid sports that could injure your abdomen. Especially after the third month, avoid exercises where you have to lie on your back because it can reduce blood flow to the uterus and harm the baby. Never dive can cause serious problems in the baby's circulatory system.
When you exercise, pay attention to your body and how you feel. Do not overreach. You gradually. If you have serious problems, such as vaginal bleeding, dizziness, headache, chest pain, decrease your baby's movements or contractions, stop exercising and call your health professional immediately.
