Stay physically active from "summary" of Eat This, Not That! When You're Expecting by Jennifer Ashton, MD,David Zinczenko
Staying physically active during pregnancy is vital for both you and your baby. Regular exercise can help improve your mood, boost your energy levels, and reduce the risk of developing gestational diabetes and high blood pressure. It can also help you manage weight gain and prepare your body for childbirth. When it comes to exercising during pregnancy, it's important to listen to your body and make modifications as needed. Low-impact activities such as walking, swimming, and prenatal yoga are great options for staying active while reducing the risk of injury. Be sure to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise routine to ensure it is safe for you and your baby. Remember to stay hydrated and wear comfortable clothing and supportive shoes while exercising. It's also important to warm up before starting any physical activity and cool down afterward to prevent muscle strain and injury. If you experience any unusual symptoms such as dizziness, chest pain, or vaginal bleeding while exercising, stop immediately and contact your healthcare provider.- Staying physically active during pregnancy can help you feel better physically and emotionally, as well as support your overall health and well-being. So lace up those sneakers, grab your water bottle, and get moving for a healthier, happier pregnancy.
