Exercise during pregnancy helps to maintain physical vitality, reduce discomfort during pregnancy, and even make delivery smoother. However, be careful when exercising to avoid unnecessary injuries. Next, let's take a look at the precautions of exercise during pregnancy.

Consult a doctor first.

For the safety of yourself and your baby, you must consult a doctor or midwife for personalized advice before starting a new exercise plan.

♀? Choose the right exercise

Yoga, swimming, walking and fitness exercises for pregnant women help to maintain the flexibility and strength of the body and relieve the stress and anxiety during pregnancy. But running, weight training and some contact sports may not be suitable for pregnant women.

Master the intensity of exercise

Moderate intensity is the best, and you can talk easily during exercise. If you have difficulty breathing or can't talk, you have exercised too much.

Avoid the risk of falling.

Pregnant mothers who change their center of gravity should avoid skiing, horseback riding or cycling, which can easily lead to falls.

Replenish water and nutrition

Your body will consume more water and energy during exercise. Remember to replenish water in time and eat some healthy snacks to replenish energy.

Pay attention to your physical reaction.

If you feel dizzy, chest pain, dyspnea, bleeding or uterine contraction during exercise, you should stop immediately and contact your doctor.

♀? Preheating and cooling

Warm up for 5- 10 minutes before each exercise, and cool down for 5- 10 minutes after each exercise to help the body gradually return to a rest state.
