After having a baby, many women give up their daily exercise and even lie in bed to rest every day. This is a very wrong practice, especially in the middle and late stages of pregnancy. Not exercising every day is not helpful for vaginal delivery, and there may also be problems with fetal position. Therefore, it is necessary to engage in appropriate activities. So, how to exercise during pregnancy?
During different stages of pregnancy, the methods of physical activity for pregnant women vary. However, intense exercise is not suitable in the early stages of pregnancy, especially before 12 weeks, as it may cause uterine contractions. Therefore, during this period, it is possible to do some family exercises, such as taking a walk or doing some household chores at home.
In mid pregnancy, the attachment of the placenta becomes much more stable. At this time, other activities such as yoga or swimming can be done, especially swimming, which can make the body feel very relaxed. However, the physical exertion is also relatively high, so it is important to pay attention to appropriate rest. Both yoga and swimming are very helpful for vaginal delivery.
In the later stages of pregnancy, babies tend to grow larger, and pregnant mothers may experience swelling problems, such as severe swelling in the calves or feet. Therefore, the amount of physical activity depends on the specific condition of the pregnant mother.
