Exercising during your pregnancy has many benefits. Not only can it boost your physical and emotional wellbeing, but it can also decrease the risk of some pregnancy-related complications.
You can exercise while pregnant whether you did so pre-pregnancy or not. For those of you that were fit and healthy before falling pregnant, the main message is to keep it up – although you may need to modify your exercise program and stop playing some sports.
Before you start, run your exercise plan past a healthcare professional.
