Pregnancy Diary

While expectant mothers were once thought to be too fragile for regular physical activity, doctors now believe there is no reason for healthy women with uncomplicated pregnancies to avoid exercise.
Exercising reduces the physical discomforts of pregnancy, improves your mental outlook, and helps you maintain your energy level.

Activities such as walking, swimming, and cycling on a stationary bike are well-suited for most pregnant women. Yoga workouts designed for pregnancy are also quite popular. However, pregnant women should avoid potentially dangerous activities such as downhill skiing, scuba diving, and horseback riding. If you’re not sure whether a particular activity is safe for expectant mothers, discuss your plans with your healthcare provider.

No matter what type of workout you choose, you’ll want to follow a few simple safety precautions. To stay safe while exercising, don’t work out on an empty stomach, drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration, and never exercise to the point of exhaustion. It’s also a good idea to wear appropriate clothing to minimize the risk of overheating.
