Exercise in Pregnancy Guidelines

Exercise during pregnancy is generally safe and beneficial when done appropriately. It can improve energy, reduce stress, and promote a healthy weight. Recommended activities include walking, swimming, and prenatal yoga. It’s important to consult a healthcare provider before starting, especially if there are complications or high-risk factors. Pregnant women should aim for moderate activity most days, listen to their bodies, stay hydrated, and avoid activities with high fall or injury risk. As pregnancy progresses, exercises might need adjustments. Overall, staying active supports a healthy pregnancy, labor, and recovery.
