Staying Active During Pregnancy

Published by sandi.valentine at 4:52 pm under birth, pregnancy Edit This

When you’re pregnant, every little bit of activity is a stretch. Chasing older children, parenting, working, and running errands can leave you with no energy left at the end of the day. However, it’s important to try to fit in a bit of daily exercise, as well.

Light exercises, like walking, swimming, or yoga are best for pregnant women. Check with your doctor or midwife before beginning any type of exercise routine, especially if you’ve had bleeding episodes or other health problems during your pregnancy.

Try to fit in 30 minutes of light exercise 2-3 times per week. Doing so will help with fatigue, and help your body be strong and flexible when you give birth.
