Begin exercise at 29 weeks?

Question

I have not really exercised during pregnancy other than walking around my school. Can I start exercise this late? And what should I do?

Note: I used to exercise vigorously before pregnancy. I was a competitive athlete until age 21.

Answer

If you didn't do it prior to pregnancy, don't start now.

Answer

I would suggest doing light exercises such as walking or yoga. Since your body isn't used to exercising, starting now could put stress on your body & therefore your baby. But, before you start any new exercises, talk to your doctor.

Answer

Prenatal yoga and gentle swimming are great exercises that should be safe. Take it slow and don't over-do it.

Answer

I wouldn't do more than walking. Ask your dr.

Answer

I would check with your doctor to be sure but generally, if pregnancy is going well it is totally safe and really beneficial to exercise! Maybe start with something low impact like walking or swimming?
