your body is undergoing several changes, and a
new life is developing inside of you and
depending on you. But you are not sick, you are

reason why not to stay fit.

In fact, if you are a healthy woman, your
pregnancy is doing well, and showing no
complications, the more fit and active you are,
the better.Fitness involves healthy eating and
appropriately exercising, and if you take care of
both aspects, your body will find it easier to
adapt to your changing body shape, needs and
gains. Fit pregnant women cope with labor with
more ease. Furthermore, exercising during

That being said, you will need to bear in mind
certain considerations. Although physical
activities and sports are beneficial, you will
need to restrict yourself in some aspects (such
as not exhausting yourself till becoming
breathless), or avoid certain sports for your
babys sake.
When it comes to the nutritional aspect of
pregnancy fitness, needless to say, that you have
to keep a balanced diet, and follow the
indications of your doctor. Depending on how much
you exercise, you may need more of certain
nutrients than other moms to be.

Getting straight to physical activity which is
usually one of the first concerns pregnant women
show. If you do physical activities or exercise
(dancing, yoga, running, tennis, cycling, etc.)
you can keep on with your regular routines, as
long as you keep feeling comfortable, unless
for some reason- your doctor specifically
prohibits you from exercising. Of course, even if
you have been practicing a particular sport and
are continuing doing so, dont forget to tell
your instructor right from the moment you
discover you are pregnant. Being aware of that,
your instructor will be able to give you
particular recommendations or precautions if
required.

As we mentioned above, you can continue
exercising unless otherwise prescribed by your
physician. There are yet a few precautions you
need to take -Warm up before you start
exercising. Dont exercise up to exhaustion. If
you cant speak because you are breathless, you
have then trained too hard.-Avoid exercising
strenuously in excessively hot weather.-If
exercising in heated swimming pools, beware,
particularly if you have low blood
pressure.-Drink, drink and drink plenty of water
during training.-If you practice any martial
arts, you can do all training and warm up, but
you must avoid the sparring. Dont risk getting
an unwanted kick or punch in your womb!

Avoid having to lie flat on your back mainly
after the fourth month, and never do it for more
than one minute. In such position, you are
putting pressure on a vessel that carries oxygen
and nutrients to your baby.-Never hold your
breath, such in some weight lifting exercises,
this could augment your blood pressure and reduce
the oxygen your baby receives.-Avoid much
jumping. You could harm your pelvic tissues and
your joints, which are already carrying extra
weight.-Forget about scuba diving your baby
could suffer from decompression sickness and gas
bubbles in the blood.

Usually, doctors recommend pregnant women doing
about 30 minutes of exercise most days of the
week. The type of exercise will vary a lot from
woman to woman. One of the main factors is how
active the woman was before she got pregnant.
Obviously, we are talking about healthy women and
non-complicated pregnancies. It is known that
highly competitive athletes can keep a quite
elevated pace of training during their pregnancy
without suffering any harm or cause any harm to
their babies. Something similar happens with
women who practice weightlifting and get pregnant
