By now we all know that the belief it’s dangerous to exercise during pregnancy is wrong. In fact, doctors recommend pregnant women to be active throughout pregnancy for a healthy and easy delivery.
Exercising during pregnancy is generally safe, until you have any complication and have been asked by your doctor to not exercise.
Exercising during normal pregnancy can reduce the risk of several health risks including excessive weight gain, gestational diabetes, back pain, depression and preeclampsia.
For people worried about the safety of exercise during pregnancy, a study published a systematic review in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, which analysed 46 studies, found that prenatal exercise does not increase the risk of miscarriage or death of the fetus.
But before you decide to follow an exercise routine during pregnancy, consult your doctor and make sure you do it under expert supervision- as certain conditions can make it more risky.
