Exercising While Pregnant Is Key To Your Health_Clean
- 4 years ago
WOMEN OFTEN WONDER IF IT’S SAFE TO EXERCISE WHILE PREGNANT, OR IF WORKING OUT COULD POTENTIALLY HARM THE BABY.
IN MOST CASES, EXERCISES ARE SAFE TO PERFORM DURING PREGNANCY, AS LONG AS IT’S WITH CAUTION AND NOT OVERDONE.
“EXERCISING WILL BOOST YOUR HEALTH, YOUR UNBORN BABY’S HEALTH, AND IT CAN HELP GET YOUR BODY READY FOR GIVING BIRTH AND BEING A NEW MOM,” SAYS MIDWIFE KATE MARSH OF TOMMY’S BABY CHARITY.
STAYING ACTIVE DURING PREGNANCY HELPS YOU SLEEP BETTER, REDUCES ANXIETY, AND CAN PREVENT CRAMPS, SWOLLEN FEET, AND TIREDNESS.
ACCORDING TO RESEARCH BY TOMMY’S, WOMEN WHO EXERCISE ARE LESS LIKELY TO HAVE A CAESARIAN, WHILE THOSE WHO DO WEIGHT-BEARING EXERCISES LIKE WALKING, YOGA, AND DANCING HAVE A SHORTER LABOUR TIME WITH FEWER COMPLICATIONS.
WHILE EXERCISE DURING PREGNANCY ISN’T NECESSARILY FOR WEIGHT LOSS, IT CAN KEEP THE EXTRA POUNDS OFF AND LIKELY HELP WITH WEIGHT LOSS AFTER THE DELIVERY.
WOMEN SHOULD GET AT LEAST 20 TO 30 MINUTES OF MODERATE-INTENSITY EXERCISE BUT SHOULD MAKE A PLAN WITH THEIR PHYSICIAN TO RULE OUT ANY MEDICAL COMPLICATIONS.
